UmoCalls
Tryouts for
New Opera
'Froggy Bottom'
Requires Talent
The newly-revived Union Opera
announces that after two years of
preparation it is ready to begin
casting for its forthcoming musi-
cal extravaganza, "Froggy Bot-
tom."
Tryouts may arrange for audi-
tions by calling the Student Offi-
ces of the Union tomorrow and
Tuesday from 3 to 5 and 7 to 10
p.m.
AUDITIONS ARE scheduled for
Tuesday and Wednesday, and
Thursday if necessary, from 3 to
6 and from 7:30 to 10 p.m. After-
noon tryouts will be held in Rm.
3-G of the Union, with evening
sessions slated for the Union Ball-
room.
Students who do not make
appointments may obtain audi-
tions during the scheduled hours
if time permits.
A large number of parts are
available, including singing, danc-
ing and specialty roles, according
to Union Opera chairman Dave
Leyshon. Since only males are eli-
gible for the opera, men who can
effectively portray the weaker sex
are especially needed to fill the
female roles.
* * *
ASPIRANTS FOR lead roles will
be asked to demonstrate their act-
ing ability as well as their singing
prowess. Two choruses, one for
singing and the other for dancing,
are to be used in the show.
The opera committee has suc-
ceeded in obtaining Fred Evans,
nationally known musical com-
edy director, to take charge of
its production. Evans has work-
ed with such outstanding show-
men as George M. Cohan, Mike
Todd, Florenz Ziegfield, and
George Shubert. He also spent
five years at the Chez Paree,
and during the war served over-
seas with the USO.
"Froggy Bottom," the brainchild
of Jim Wright, a graduate English
student from Flint, is a musical
comedy dealing with the problems
arising from the housing shortage.
Music for the show was composed
by a number of students, including
Ed Chudacoff, Jim Ebersole, Ted
Johnson and Ralph Hamilton.
The opera will be presented on
March 23, 24 and 25 at the Michi-
gan Theater.
