“All three directors are auditioning for all three shows at the same time,” explained Girton, a Riverland director who will also lead “Damn Yankees” this year.

All ages are welcome to audition; however, ages 10 and up will only be needed for the musical “Damn Yankees,” which begins June 14.

Shane May will be directing the murder mystery, “And Then There Were None,” to debut July 8. Beginning July 21, “Nunsense Jamboree,” the third production in the “Nunsense” series, will be directed by Steven Kinney. No experience is necessary to audition. Auditions will take at least one hour. Rehearsals will begin as soon as possible. For more information, call Jerry Girton at 437-7390.
