| An Iowa Songbook |
Donna Reed Foundation looking for local talent for variety show to be performed March 23, 2013 as part of its American Icon Series – Focus On Iowa
Auditions will be held on Thursday
night, February 28 at 7 p.m., and on Sunday, March 3
at 5 p.m., at the Donna Reed Theater, 1305 Broadway in downtown
Denison, Iowa.
Participants should bring sheet music
or a CD with background music for the song they wish to audition. An
accompanist will be provided. Rehearsals are planned for Thursday and
Sunday evenings in March leading up to the show. High school and
adult performers are urged to audition.
Those selected for An Iowa
Songbook will be asked to perform songs that are connected to
Iowa. That includes songs from Andy Williams, The Everly Brothers,
Meredith Willson, and Roger Williams, among others. Some songs will
be featured from Iowa films, either made in or about the state, or
that starred Iowa artists. For example, It’s A Grand Night For
Singing from the movie State Fair will be one of the songs
presented. There will also be songs from Television. Remember Johnny
Angel from the Donna Reed Show?
“Iowans have had a profound impact on
American Pop Culture,” said show director, Tim Tracy, “and we’re
going to try to feature as many of those great songs as possible in
this show.”
Any questions should be directed to Tim
Tracy at 712-830-7669.
