Following are audition notices for The Surprising Story of the Three Little Pigs, and Charlotte's Web.

Stage Nine Theatre-----Audition for The Surprising Story of the Three Little Pigs(Scroll down for Charlotte's Web audition notice)Stage Nine Theatre will be holding auditions for The Surprising Story of the Three Little Pigs by Linda Daugherty on Monday, July 6 at 7:00pm at the Stage Nine Theatre, 717 Sutter Street, Historic Folsom.

Call backs if needed will be on Tuesday, July 7. The show is directed by Kris Hunt. This very funny play combines the stories of The Three Little Pigs, The Three Billy Goats Gruff, and Goldilocks and the Three Bears into a madcap jumble. "The Voice" tries his best to narrate the changing stories as stage hands desperately try to juggle sets to keep the stories straight. The three trios join forces to rewrite their stories, ridding themselves of their respective villains by exchanging them. In the process the audience is inspired to conquer their fears by taking control of their own lives.

This is a non-musical. Rehearsals are July 26 through Aug. 5 from 7:00 - 9:30 on Sun., Mon., Tues., Wed., and Thurs. Tech week is Monday, Aug 10 with a dress rehearsal/preview on Thursday, Aug. 13.
