Way back in early April, we discussed creating an Audition List (see Auditions? What Auditions?). Well, we’ve finally started working on that.

We are really starting to strain the WordPress system we’ve been using. On a test server, we’ve upgraded to the newest WordPress version, 2.02, which has […]
Many theaters have been sending us their audition notices. We haven’t had a good way to publish those notices on the site. But we will soon. So if your theatre has any audition notices they’d like publicized, please send them to us, and we’ll get them some exposure. And if you’d like to help us […]
