'Peter Pan'
Men, women, boys and girls ages 6 and up are invited to audition for Wyandotte Community Theatre's upcoming musical production of "Peter Pan." The show will be staged Oct. 18, 19, 26 and 27.
To audition, come to the lower level of the Wyandotte City Hall, 3131 Biddle Ave., from 6:45 through 9 p.m. Tuesday or Wednesday.
Come prepared to sing a short tune of your choice. You'll need to bring music on CD or cassette, if needed to accompany you. Those trying out will read from the script and possibly dance, too, but dancing is not necessarily a requirement for a part.
The play, to be directed by Penny Lynn Siler assisted by Cheryl Wojtylko, has lots of flexibility for actors with various amounts of experience and ability. Many roles will be cast according to "character presentation."
Call 1-734-285-8107 for more information or for advance ticket sales. Tickets are $8-$12, with group discounts available.

Callbacks, if necessary will be held on Thursday. The performances are slated for Oct. 13, 14, 20 and 21 at the playhouse.
Those trying out should come with a song to sing, and be prepared to dance and read from the script, as well. Music isn't necessary. For more details, call 1-734-285-3452.
