Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's wife for me

Paint ‘N the Town Red will hold auditions for Pirate Dinner Theater’s “Let’s Tie the Knot,” at 6:30 p.m. Monday, March 10, and Wednesday, March 12, at the Astoria Event Center, 894 Commercial St.

The interactive and improvisational dinner theater is being produced by Jenna Austin of Paint ‘N the Town Red. Proceeds benefit a new nonprofit foundation focused on helping locally-owned and operated small businesses.

Those wishing to audition are asked to bring a snapshot or photo of yourself to the auditions. There will be no cold script readings. Come as a character (pirate or other) you have developed, and be prepared to do a monologue or bit as that character. Improvisation, writing and group scene creation will be required as part of the audition process.

Performances will be Saturdays, May 31, July 26 and August 30. Participation in all three shows is not required. Each show may feature different characters and cameo performances by local celebrities. Rehearsals will be held at 7 p.m. March 24 and 31 (shanty sing), April 7, 14 and 28 (shanty sing), May 5, 12, 19, 22, 26 (shanty sing), 28 and 30.

Vaudeville opening acts are also wanted. Come to the audition prepared to do your bit. Vaudeville performers are not required to attend all rehearsals for these parts.

There are non-actor theater positions available as well. All positions are volunteer. For more information, call Austin at (503) 325-4988.
