AS the New Year gets started, it's audition time again for Saundersfoot Footlights' summer show 'Guys and Dolls', under director David Jones.

The show all begins with a bet. Nathan Detroit bets high-rolling gambler Sky Masterson that Sky cannot persuade Save-A-Soul Missionary Sister Sarah Brown to accompany him on a trip to Cuba.

While the worldly Sky works his charms on a wary Sarah, Nathan is doing his best to stay outside the matrimonial clutches of his long-suffering fiancée, Miss Adelaide.

Set in the colorful world of New York City in the mid-20th century, the romantic and funny 'Guys and Dolls' is full of gangsters and gamblers, missionary dolls and scantily clad showgirls, and one of the great musical scores in the history of American theatre.

The auditions are being held in the Regency Hall, Saundersfoot, tomorrow (Saturday), at 2 pm, and Sunday, at 5 pm.

Auditions are open to all aged 14 and over (by the week of the show), and those wishing to audition will be asked to sing a song of their choice. Anyone who also wishes to audition for a speaking part will also be asked to read something from the script.

If you'd like to be involved, but do not wish to audition for a part, please do go along and introduce yourself. Footlights are always looking for people to help with many of the backstage jobs that go to make the show the success it is.

Rehearsals will take place on a Wednesday, at 7 pm, and Sunday, at 5 pm, with some long weekend rehearsals a couple of weeks before they start. The show will run Monday, June 4, to Saturday, June 9, with all performances starting at 7.30 pm.

For further information on auditions or how you can be involved, please contact David Jones on 870189 or Andrea Thomas on 07972784737.
