Audition for The Miser at Richland Players

This weekend is your opportunity to audition for the Richland Players, a great little community theatre that is celebrating its 75th season. It's fascinating how each generation has this continual ebb and flow of amazing theatre people who want to spend their free time doing the work to tell stories on stage. I think it's a magical piece of humanity, and I support the productions that are good and the ones that are not so good - they are all beautiful. The upcoming production of The Miser is sure to be one of the "good" ones. Directed by McKenzie Kennedy (who also happens to be the reigning Miss Tri-Cities) in her Richland Players debut, I'm expecting something funny, energetic and different in this production of the Molière classic.

If you aren't interested in being onstage, there are some great opportunities for sitting in the audience this weekend. Support the kids at Chief Joseph Middle School's production of Tuck Everlasting - always adorable. And we get a double header of music as Community Concerts of the Tri-Cities' presents the Arcis Saxophone Quartet on Friday, and Camerata Musica brings us the Park Brothers Guitar Duo on Saturday. There's time for it all! See you there!
