HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Due to a lack of people auditioning on the first weekend, Stage 9 has chosen to change its production for August.
"We had only six people show up and we need 24," said director Kris Anshutz. "We had auditions scheduled this weekend also. We decided that we needed to change our schedule and so we are doing The Real Inspector Hound instead of Tony n' Tina's Wedding. Auditions will be at the same time."
That time is Saturday from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Stage 9 at 9 South Main.
"In The Real Inspector Hound, there are five men and three women, for a total of eight," Anshutz said. "I could do four women and four men."
The main issue is a lack of men auditioning, as only one man auditioned last weekend. The venue is also changing from Grace Episcopal Church back to Stage 9.
"The performance will be at Stage 9, but the dates will be the same," Anshutz said. "They will be August 4 through 6 and August 11 through 13."
All performances will be at 7:30 p.m. Anshutz will work with the cast to set up a rehearsal schedule that works for them.
She also wanted to thank the sponsors for their support, including:
Members Mortgage
Heartland Credit Union
Prairie Star Health
Sleep Shoppe
First National Bank
Commerce Bank
Hutchinson Clinic
Melinda Young Law
Bretz Injury Law
and Eagle Media
