Riverside Community Players announces auditions for the Stephen Sondheim musical A Little Night Music. This production is a vocally demanding look at love and intertwined relationships and is arguably the most romantic of Sondheim’s musicals.

Auditions will be held at the theatre (4026 Fourteenth St., Riverside) on May 19th from 7:00 – 10:00 p.m. and May 20th from 7:00 – 8:30 p.m. followed by callbacks from 8:30 – 10:00 p.m.  Merrilee Drake is directing with Bill Wolfe, musical director.   Please direct any questions to Merrilee Drake at (909) 626-0242.
