ILWACO, Wash. – Get your voices warmed up and put your dancing shoes on for the upcoming Broadway musical “Mame.” Tryouts are scheduled for 7 p.m. Tuesday and Wednesday, Jan. 5 and 6, at the 2nd Story Playhouse, 108 Spruce St. The cast will include more than 20 talented individuals. There are both singing and non-singing roles.

You need not have anything prepared for the tryouts but will be asked to sing a bit from the title song and read a short passage from the dialogue. If you are unable to try out at scheduled times, you may request a private tryout by calling Robert Lindberg at (360) 665-0590.

There are 10 males and 10 females who have lines. The number of chorus members and dancers is unlimited. About half of the cast have solos and half have only dialogue. There are two roles for young boys.

The plot centers around a worldly aunt who becomes a guardian for a young nephew and how this changes her life. Some of Mame’s wild adventurous spirit is inside everyone who lives for the moment and believes “life is a banquet.” Her life is turned upside down, but she still lives life to the fullest.

The show takes place in the 1920s, with all the glamour and glitz of the time. Special songs include “Mame,” “Open a New Window,” “If He Walked Into my Life” and “We Need a Little Christmas.” The production will be directed by Bob Lindberg with musical direction by Rita Smith.
