Actors and actresses, please join us at 2 p.m. Sunday afternoon, Feb. 1, to audition for a part in our 2026 melodrama. The Sawdust Theatre will stage the play every weekend from Memorial Day to Labor Day. Most performances will be on Saturday evenings, but there will be a few Friday evening performances and some Sunday matinees, too. The play always is double cast, so each character will perform in about half of the shows, giving each participant some time off. This year’s cast includes six men and six women, but because it’s double cast, we need 24 actors and actresses for the 2026 performances. Come be a part of The Sawdust Theatre! Have fun and exhibit your talent!&nbsp;

If you enjoy singing and dancing, you’ll love performing in our Olios at the Sawdust Theatre next summer. Olios are the song-and-dance routines we perform between scenes of the annual melodrama. The dancers always start with a crowd favorite, the Can-Can, but because each melodrama has several scenes, each performance provides ample opportunities for the olios to strut their stuff, which they do on stage while the backstage crew prepares behind the curtain for the next scene of the play. These fun-loving performers always involve willing participants from the audience in a couple of numbers during every show. Being involved in the olios is a great way to exhibit your talent. Come join us!
