August 12, 2011 - Harrogate, Tennessee— Lincoln Memorial University (LMU) and The Railsplitter Playhouse will hold auditions for the fall production of Oklahoma! on September 1, 2 and 3. The auditions will be held at the Sam and Sue Mars Performing Arts Center in the Duke Hall of Citizenship on LMU’s main campus in Harrogate, Tenn.

The auditions are open to everyone age 12 and up. Director Sara Schutz and Music Director Candace Armstrong will be casting for actors, singers and dancers, though not all cast members will need to do all three. No prior experience is necessary.

Accompaniment will be provided by Armstrong, so prospective cast members are asked to bring your music to your audition. Attendance is only required at one of the audition sessions. Call backs will take place on September 6 at 6:30 p.m. The cast will be set on September 6 and rehearsals start on September 7. Performance dates have been set for November 10, 11, 12, 17, 18 and 19.
