Marion Cultural and Civic Center recently issued the following announcement.
SKYLINE CREEK PRODUCTIONS
"Avenue Q: The Musical"
Directed By: Brandyn McGhee
Music Direction: Derek Hamblin
Stage Manager: Rebecca Newburn
The laugh-out-loud musical tells the timeless story of a recent college grad named Princeton, who moves into a shabby New York apartment all the way out on Avenue Q. He soon discovers that, although the residents seem nice, it's clear that this is not your ordinary neighborhood. The musical is notable for the use of puppets, animated by unconcealed puppeteers, alongside human actors.

CASTING/REHEARSAL NOTES
This production will be casting 10-12 actors only.
This show will be rehearsing throughout the months of January and February. We will do our best to take actor conflicts into consideration when creating our rehearsal schedule, but due to this show's incredibly short rehearsal period, actors with fewer conflicts will be preferred. Actors auditioning for this production should be prepared for a heavy rehearsal schedule throughout the month of February, however, not all actors in the show will be called for every rehearsal.
