AUDITION INFORMATION

Auditions for this summer's Davis Arts Council (DAC) musical production of the high-octane country-western musical comedy, "Pump Boys and Dinettes," being directed and choreographed by Jim Christian, will be 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. on Thursday, April 22, at the DAC offices (445 N. Wasatch Drive, Layton).

Callbacks are scheduled for Saturday, April 24, from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m.

Call DAC at 801-546-8575 or send an e-mail to heather@davisarts.org, to schedule an audition time slot.

The show runs Aug 25-28 and 30 in at the Kenley Amphitheater as the closing event on the Davis Arts Council¹s Summer Nights with the Stars season.

The fast-paced musical revolves around the interaction between four gas station pump boys and two sisters who run the Double Cupp Diner across the highway. The setting is rural North Carolina somewhere along Highway 57, a sort of Deep South version of Route 66.

Roles are open for four men (all of whom must be able to play either piano, lead guitar, bass, percussion, or rhythm guitar) and two women (ages 20-50).

Come prepared with 16-32 bars of two contrasting country songs. No a cappella, please. An accompanist will be provided.

The women playing Rhetta and Prudie Cupp will also be helping with percussion (sometimes on kitchen utensils), but the four guys chosen to play the pump boys will form the production's on-stage band.
