The Seaforth Agricultural Society is pro- viding the financial backing and publicity. The choice of The Fanta - sticks was based on its reasonable budget, simple set and costumes and a small cast of eight. It is a fantasy - a Tight romance between a boy and the girl next door who suffer through the humour- ous interference of their fa- thers. These four characters are supported by a travelling troupe of actors who provide the framework of the play, the asides and the comments of life. The script is sprinkled with many lively songs and dances, as well as lots of laughs. 11 is thoroughly enjoyable entertainment for young and old in both the audience and the cast. The action on stage is accompanied by a four piece combo orchestra to provide a lively tempo. At this time a complete production staff of volunteers has been assembled. These people bring the time and expertise to mount a first class production.

Auditions will be held at Seaforth Public School be- ginning at 10 a.m. Saturday, Dec. 11. with call-backs for final selection on Sunday afternoon Dec. 12. "We hope that we can fill all roles from the surrounding municipali- ties," Mr. Whitmore says. An audition is simply an interview with the director, the music director and the producer who decide how to cast the applicants based on singing and speaking voice, height, age, etc. An applicant tries out by singing a song of their choice, reading lines and possibly following some dance steps. The applicant can try for a particular role or simply have 'a general audition and the committee will decide on the final placement. The cast consists of: El Caelo (the narrator), Luisa (the girl); Matt (the boy); J Hucklebee (the boy's father), Bellomy (the girl's father); Henry (the actor); Mortimer (the old actor) and the mute. The first five parts require singing. The actors have speaking parts, and the mute as you can guess acts and dances with np singing or speaking. "A rehearsal schedule will be arrangedto suit the cast as we have many busy people in the comn)unity," the pro- ducer sa s. Rehearsals will begin in anuary. Scripts are availabl now for anyone wishin to read it before audons. Already the grape- vine has brought several requests to borrow scripts. /Scripts are available from Bruce Whitmore.
