Mamma Mia! Synopsis
ABBA's hits tell the hilarious story of a young woman's search for her birth father. This sunny and funny tale unfolds on a Greek island paradise. On the eve of her wedding, a daughter's quest to discover the identity of her father brings three men from her mother's past back to the island they last visited 20 years ago.

Casting Information
· All those auditioning will get a fair, unbiased chance as per our non-discrimination policy.
· The cast list will be posted by 6:00 pm Monday, April 8th.
· Auditions and casting are a very exciting and stressful time for those auditioning, as well as the production staff.  Please remember that casting is not a personal refection on you as as an individual.  There are a variety of factors that go into casting, including—vocal range, dancing & acting ability; chemistry with other actors and scene partners; schedule availability; attitude; and to some degree—reliability and behavior issues from past productions.  Inevitably, there will be some hurt feelings, however I expect everyone to keep negative comments to themselves.  We will build each other up as a cast instead of tearing one another down.  A positive, team-centered attitude is essential!
