The Auburn Community Players will audition performers for its third production, “The Wizard of Oz,” from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., Saturday, July 16 at Children’s Dance Theater, 122 W Main St.

Auditioners should come prepared with a head shot picture, a song from musical theater — with sheet music in the correct key — and a one-to-two-minute monologue. Auburn Community Players will provide an accompanist  but can accommodate CD accompaniment.

In this musical based on the popular L. Frank Baum stories, Dorothy and her dog, Toto, are whisked up in a twister and somehow end up in the magical land of Oz. There, she meets some memorable friends and foes on her journey to meet the Wizard of Oz, whom everyone assures her can speed her return home and possibly grant her new friends their own wishes for a brain, a heart and courage.

People who plan to audition should call (253) 833-5678, or email jkleinbeck@auburnwa.gov to set up an audition time.

Auditioners must be 14 years of age or older, though kids between 6 and 14 may sign up for The Wizard of Oz Youth Theater Workshop to be a Munchkin or Jitter Bug. Contact Auburn Parks, Arts and Recreation at (253) 931-3043 for more information.

Performances of the “The Wizard of Oz” will be at 7:30 p.m. Oct. 14-16 and 22, and at 2 p.m. Oct 21 and 22, at the Auburn Avenue Theater. For any questions about the Auburn Community Players or the Auburn Avenue Theater, call Jim Kleinbeck at (253) 804-5057.
