Greetings musical theatre fans, and readers of the Vancouver Musical Theatre Calendar! Lots to report on this latest issue of the VMTC update.
First off, there are a couple of upcoming auditions. North Van Community Players is "seeking a male actor for a major comedic role". Sound up your alley? Read all the details here.
And this coming Monday night, they'll be auditioning for VIVA ZORRO! in North Van. Sounds like a zany romp south of the border. Click here for the skinny.
And now, an overview of the new calendar listings!
An "Oz" mashup
Traditional musical theatre meets burlesque on the yellow brick road in "Ruby Red Burlesque". Looks like good bawdy fun, and an "Oz" that's not so much for the kids. October 1-10.

A personal request
Finally, one last note - today is the last day of voting in the MAD MEN Casting Call contest. I may not be able to win but I'm gunning for 1,000 votes by the time voting ends tonight, which means just 70 more votes. Hope you can help me by clicking on my entry. Thanks!
Enjoy, and see you at a musical!
