Spectacular Follies COVID-19 Audition Notice
The board has been keeping watch on the ramifications of the COVID-19 virus and has decided to postpone the auditions for the 2020 Spectacular Follies show until late in April. We want to be sure that everyone involved with the Follies stays healthy and safe and we feel moving our auditions will help do that.
We are securing audition dates for the end of April and as we keep an eye on the situation, we will notify everyone in advance of the new dates and times when we are sure we can hold them safely. We thank you all for your love and loyalty to the Follies and we want to always do what is best for you and the show.
You will hear from us again when we have firm, accurate audition information to provide. Thank you.
