Follies Show Calendar

Every three years the Wenatchee Valley Follies Guild depends on community participation to create a top-notch Follies show and raise funds for the Wenatchee Valley Follies Guild and Children’s Foundation. Want to participate? We need you! There is space for every interested individual. Community auditions for roles in the Follies production will occur in January 2022. We find space for novice and advanced performers alike. Don’t want to be on stage? Don’t worry - every show needs an audience!

Auditions

1:00pm

Wenatchee Convention Center

Inspired to be part of this show? Auditions are open to the public, ages 18 and older, and all experience levels are encouraged to try out. Auditions are used simply as a tool to find the best spot(s) for each person. Everyone who wants to be in the show WILL be in the show.

Wear comfortable clothing and shoes that you can move in. If you are auditioning for a Couples Dance, please try to find a partner ahead of time. Those auditioning for a solo, duet, trio, or quartet should come prepared with a song to sing that is one minute or less (one verse and chorus is sufficient).

Rehearsal schedules will be released at auditions. Rehearsal times/dates will vary depending on the production number. Each number will rehearse for 30 minutes, 2-3 times per week.

Imagine meeting your family and friends in downtown Wenatchee’s precious little theatre. As the house lights begin to dim, the energy in the room is electric with anticipation. The curtain goes up, and the theatre explodes with light and sound. Your toes start tapping, hands are clapping, and you cannot help singing along with the chorus. It’s the 70th Anniversary of Follies!
