Join the ‘sturdy’ cast of
‘Shanghaied’ characters
ASTORIA — Auditions for
the 33rd season of “Shang-
haied in Astoria!” — a
vaudeville-style, musi-
cal-melodrama presented
by the Astoria Street Opry
Co . — will take place 6 p.m.
Saturday, May 20, and noon
to 2 p.m. Sunday, May 21.
“Being a part of ‘Shang-
haied’ is sure to make sum-
mer a rewarding lifetime
memory as auditioners
connect, learn and grow
through theater techniques
and this precise style of
stagecraft performance,” ac-
cording to Markus Brown,
the company’s produc-
tion chairman, marketing
manager and this season’s
“Shanghaied” director.
“Over 2 dozen delightful
and colorful parts are open
for guys and gals 17 to
any age. Parts for sturdy
women, nefarious saloon
owners, fun fi shermen, nas-
ty villains, and a sweetheart
or two, along with spots
for dancers, musicians and
technical backstage help.”
The show will run July 7
through Sept. 9.
“Shanghaied,” which
premiered in 1985 on a
skeleton budget, has become
a beloved piece of Astoria’s
coast
