Third Floor, Main Library
219 N. Broad Street, Lancaster
We are looking for mature actors, both men and women, to star in our holiday vaudeville-esque musical. Marginal
singing ability required BUT strong acting chops are needed to perform this comedic revue. As Charlie Chaplin once
said, “It takes courage to make a fool of yourself!” For auditions, actors will need to perform the novelty song of their
choice either a capella or by singing along to a musical track. Dr. Demento: 20th Anniversary Collection (available at
FCDL) is a good inspiration for novelty songs.
Performances of Assisted Living: The Musical® The Home…for the holidays are scheduled for Friday December 6 at
7 p.m. and Saturday December 7 at 7 p.m. at the Fairfield County District Library, 219 N. Broad St., Lancaster.
