The music of Irving Berlin, showcased in “I Love a Piano,” will be the fall musical at HCPAC this year. Auditions will be held for singers, musicians, actors and dancers Monday and Tuesday, Aug. 22 and 23 from 6:30 – 8:30 p.m. in the Main Stage Auditorium.
“I Love a Piano” is the celebration of the music and lyrics of Irving Berlin. It follows the journey of a piano as it moves in and out of American lives from the turn of the century to the present. Along the way, the story comes to vibrant life with over sixty of Irving Berlin’s most beloved songs, including classics such as ‘Blue Skies,’ ‘There’s No Business Like Show Business,’ ‘Puttin’ on the Ritz,’ ‘Cheek to Cheek,’ ‘Always,’ ‘How Deep is the Ocean,’ ‘Anything You Can Do,’ ‘God Bless America,’ and, of course, ‘I Love a Piano.’ Alternately heartbreaking and hilarious, rousing and reflective, “I Love a Piano” is a fitting tribute to the man Jerome Kern famously said had ‘no place in American music – he is American music.’
Auditions are for women and men aged 18 and older. There is no experience or preparation necessary. Show dates are Oct. 13 – 22.
