Ms. Pamela Spicer, the director and ultimately
in charge of casting for "The Pajama Game," presided
over the auditions (which were open to grades 8-12) and hoped to "not
traumatize them [the auditioners]."
For first-timers like Johanna Ballou (ninth grade),
the auditions were "really, really scary." She sang “Part
of Your World” for her audition and hopes to take away a good first
theatrical experience from the fall musical.
Veteran to the Mason theater program Tracy Geren, a junior who sings the national anthem at the Mason
home football games, offers the advice "know the song you're
going to sing and be ready to sing it."
Mrs. Spicer explains "it's not just about
the vocals, it's about your presence on stage and performing the
piece." When asked for advice, she quickly replied "have fun!"
Callbacks are Wednesday, and Lasso Online will
be the first to post the cast list. "The Pajama Game" will
show in the Mason auditorium on November 30, December 1 and 2 at
7:30.
