The final round of auditions for the Pierce College fall production of Cabaret were held Saturday afternoon in the North Gym.
Gene Putnam, who directed the musical for Pierce in 2003, will be directing again this year. All of the main roles have been filled, but Saturday, Sept. 13 was the final round of auditions for Kit Kat girls and other dancers.
“We’re trying to get two for the price of one,” Putnam said. “We want people who can both sing and dance.”
The award-winning play is based on a book written by Christopher Isherwood it takes place in the 1930’s where a novelist meets a singer in a seedy Cabaret club in Berlin.
“It’s fun and exciting, it’s a different type of theater,” Jacquel Harris, an auditioner, said.
“It’s very raunchy, very sexy and it has a good storyline.”
The show will run from Dec. 5 to 14 with an alternating cast each night. Choreographer Denise Gibson said they were getting creative this year and will be performing in the tents by the Child Development Center at Pierce College.
This will be the second of four productions that the LAPC Theater is putting on this school year. For more information please visit the Los Angeles Pierce College Theater page on Facebook.
