Auditions
Dad’s Season Tickets
The Racine Theatre Guild will be holding open auditions for Dad’s Season Tickets on Sunday, May 17 from 6 – 9 p.m. and Monday, May 18 from 7:15 – 9:15 p.m.
ABOUT THE SHOW
From kickoff to the final Hail Mary, this musical comedy bleeds green, gold, and a whole lot of love for both football and theatre fanatics. Cheering on their team on the hallowed grounds of Lambeau Field has been more than just a game for the Kosinski family, it is a tradition. But which one of Frank’s three daughters will inherit the coveted season tickets? The girls employ every trick in the playbook as they fight, forgive, and learn that family isn’t everything; it’s the only thing. Grab a bratwurst and a cheesehead for a truly quintessential Wisconsin experience with songs like “Football Is Like Love” and “What Do You Do With A Bye-Week?”
Those interested in auditioning MUST sign-up for an hour time slot by calling (262) 633-4218 or emailing boxoffice@racinetheatre.org.
