TILLAMOOK — Tillamook Association for the Performing Arts (TAPA) has announced open auditions for a production of “Moonglow,” written by Kim Carney and directed by Ann Harper.

Auditions will be held at the Oregon Coast Dance Center (106 Main Ave.) in Tillamook 3 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 24, and Sunday, Feb. 25.

Performances will run Friday, May 4, through Sunday, May 20.

“Moonglow” is the story of feisty Maxine and widower Joe as they and their children live through a year of fading reality. Memories and their present circumstance intertwine in this account of life in an adult care facility. Several points of view on aging and dementia are represented. Popular music of the 1930s and 40s will be highlighted.

TAPA is looking for four women and three men to fill the roles of this production.

One male and one female are over age 60, one male and one female are 35 to 60, one male and one female are 18 to 30 (some dancing will be required of these two), and one female is 25 to 50. No previous acting experience is necessary, though a willingness to work together and learn is encouraged.

Audition packets are available at tillamooktheater.com or by emailing TAPA at info@tillamooktheater.com. Packets will also be available at the audition site.

TAPA is a nonprofit community theater dedicated to providing high-quality performing arts experiences through entertainment, education and community participation.
