Cascade Community Theatre will be holding auditions on Saturday, April 27th from 4pm-8pm for their summer production, Too Many Doctors, based on “The Imaginary Invalid” by Molière and adapted by Harriet Dexter Reagh. This classic spoof of doctors and hypochondriacs is brought to life with a colorful cast of characters that hilariously highlights the drama that can occur when one “collects” illnesses and doctors.
We encourage people of all ages, genders, abilities, and experience to audition. Our summer shows are intended to be a fun and lighthearted experience for both participants and audiences.
Please email auditions@cctplays.org to secure an audition slot. We ask you to bring a completed audition application with you or fill one out on site.
Auditions will be held at the Duvall Visitors Center (15619 Main St. NE, Duvall), downstairs in the Rose Room. Please use the downstairs entrance (look for our a-frame signs).
