Upcoming Auditions

Auditions are scheduled for July 19-21 at 7pm in the St. Simons Island Theater at the Casino, 530 Beachview Drive, SSI. 

The story follows two competing con men living on the French Riviera: Lawrence Jameson, a sophisticated and debonair veteran, and Freddy Benson, a loud, obnoxious, and utterly shameless newcomer. They decide to settle their rivalry with a high-stakes bet: the first one to swindle $50,000 out of a target heiress wins, and the other must leave town forever. It is hilarious, fast-paced, and full of musical mayhem.
