8/5-6 - Auditions for "Calendar Girls" at Starlight Dinner Theatrewill be held Sunday and Monday, August 5th and 6that Rising Star Studio of Dance Arts in DeWitt at 7 pm. Studio is located at 211 S. Bridge Street downtown DeWitt right behind Jon E. Arendsen Designs north of the bridge.

Based on a true story: A group of extraordinary women, members of a very ordinary Yorkshire Women’s Institute (WI) persuade one another to pose for a very special charity calendar. Puzzling their husbands, mortifying their children and riding the wrath of the outraged WI, they spark a global phenomenon. But as media interest snowballs, the Calendar Girls find themselves exposed in ways they’d never expected, revealing more than they’d every planned. Calendar Gils ids quirky. poignant and hilarious.

Set in turn-of-the century New York City, NEWSIES is the rousing tale of Jack Kelly, a charismatic newsboy and leader of a band of teenaged “newsies.” When titans of publishing raise distribution prices at the newsboys’ expense, Jack rallies newsies from across the city to strike against the unfair conditions and fight for what’s right!

Featuring the now classic songs “Carrying the Banner,” “Seize the Day,” and “Santa Fe,” Newsies is packed with non-stop thrills and a timeless message, perfect for the whole family and every audience.
