Hello to FungusAmongus Players supporters, fans, actors, crews, and other interested parties:
We have a bit of sad news to get out of the way, but stick with us - there's good news, too.
First: Auditions for a summer Shakespearean play pulled in some top-notch performers. Unfortunately, when we reviewed how many parts remained open after auditions, scheduling conflicts among the actors, and the threat of having to cancel shows due to COVID-19 exposure as we did last summer, it became obvious a summer show just wasn't viable this summer. We will try again next summer.
The good news:
Shows are being put on the calendar as we send this. We know “Nunsense 2 - the Second Coming” will be our fall production with our same cast returning from the first "Nunsense".
We also have chosen our holiday show. Ready? It's “The Butterfingers Angel, Mary and Joseph, Herod the Nut, and the Slaughter of Twelve Hit Carols in a Pear Tree.” We will need several teens, adults, and even one or two roles for children. Watch for audition info on Facebook and our website!
If you are looking for theatre opportunity this summer former student of Dave Metcalf and current head of the University of Minnesota Theatre department, Luverne Seifert is looking for performers to do Pop-Up performances at the McLeod County fair in August. Auditions are coming up this week June 22nd and June 23rd. For more information click HERE.
Another evening of one-act shows is coming in early 2023. We have at least three directors ready to tackle the job.
We are in the process of revising our website to be more user-friendly. As always you can find the latest FA news on our Facebook page. Plus, you'll see us more often on Instagram.
We covet your ideas. Tell us about shows you would like to see or if you would like to be involved in crews or learning tech for our shows!
Thank you for reading. Stay tuned for more details about our upcoming shows. We miss you, and can't wait to see you at our performances.
Sincerely,
The FungusAmongus Board of Directors
