IPAL is dedicating this show to the WWII veterans in Iberia Parish, and 100 free tickets will be available to them, so a large chorus is needed to play sailors, nurses and natives. All are encouraged to audition! The actual play will run March 24-April 10.
A separate audition will be held on Sunday, Nov. 14, from 2-3 p.m. for young children (9-15) interested in the roles of Ngana and Jerome.
