ANNOUNCING AUDITIONS
March 3rd and 4th at 6pm
Directed by J Scott Grinstead
About the Story:
London, 1879. The prestigious Explorers Club is in crisis: their acting president wants to admit a woman, and their bartender is terrible. True, this female candidate is brilliant, beautiful, and has discovered a legendary Lost City, but the decision to let in a woman could shake the very foundation of the British Empire, and how do you make such a decision without a decent drink? Grab your safety goggles for some very mad science involving deadly cobras, irate Irishmen and the occasional airship.

Let us know what you'd like to try! Some people help daily, some monthly, and others just one show per year.
We respect your schedule, and truly appreciate your time.
