Oh, boy the Loop is Busy!!!

Well loyal Strangeloop followers as the title of this post says Strangeloop Theatre has been busy. It has been about a month since the last post so let me update everyone on what is going on in Strangeloop Land! Loopshop, our second evening of original works, was a smash hit! Stage Left Theatre was packed two nights in a row for the fun and frivolity that Strangeloop's new playwrights were able to offer. Thank you for all who were able to attend. Your support was amazing!

October promises to be an exciting month for Strangeloop with two events. First of all we will be holding auditions for Brian Friel's Living Quarters, Strangeloop's 2nd fully produced show. Audition information is as follows

Living Quarters by Brian Friel

Dialects will not be required during the audition process. Seeking two men aged 40s-60s, three men aged 20s-30s, and four women aged 20s-30s.
