Tryouts will be conducted on both days for roles that could be played by older kids older than 14 or adults: Liza, Nana (a dog, played on hands and knees) and Neverbird.

Backstage support is needed in costumes, set construction, set moving and props. Rehearsals will be evenings and some Saturdays beginning Jan. 13.
