Join us at the Pipestone Performing Arts Center for auditions for our fall production of "The Pin-up Girls" on Monday, August 11th between 6p and 8p. We need 3 women and 1 man to fill our roles. This is a musical production. Show dates are November 7-9 and November 14-16.
From The Andrew Sisters to hip-hop! From World War I to Afghanistan. "The Pin-Up Girls" sing a cavalcade of hits inspired by letters home from our troops overseas! While singing at their local VFW hall, Leanne and her friends stumble upon a huge stash of letters that go back a hundred years. Inspired by what they find— funny, romantic, heartbreaking and… sexy— the ladies put on a show that celebrates the guys and gals who fight to defend our country.
