Burlesque Girdle Scouts troupe to hold auditions

PORT ANGELES — The Girdle Scouts, a performing troupe specializing in cabaret, burlesque, comedy and drag, is holding auditions for new members.

Men and women age 18 and older are encouraged to try out.

The troupe is looking for dancers as well as singers, comics, vaudevillians, performance artists and masters and mistresses of ceremonies.

Those interested in joining the Girdle Scouts — and who can commit to rehearsals and performances — should email the troupe at troopleater@girdlescouts.com by Sunday.

Auditions will begin at 10 a.m. Saturday, Jan. 21.

Information about the location of auditions and subsequent rehearsals will be sent out to applicants.

At the auditions, each candidate will be interviewed and asked to perform a two- to four-minute piece to best reflect his or her particular talents.

Creativity is highly encouraged.

Candidates will also learn a group piece from the Girdle Scouts’ choreographer and perform it together with the troupe.
