Gypsy Theatre Guild sets auditions for ‘The Altos’

The Gypsy Theatre Guild will be holding auditions for the dinner theatre ”The Altos” at 3 p.m. on Jan. 8 and at 7 p.m. on Jan. 9 in the fireside room at the Red Lion in Kalispell. The convention doors (south doors) will be open. The performance dates are Feb. 17 through Feb.19 and Feb. 23 through Feb. 25.

No experience is necessary. Karen Kolar will be the director for a cast composed of three women and four men.

“The Altos” is an interactive musical comedy mystery spoof of the famous HBO series. Meet the family that inspired it all, the Altos. It's Tony's funeral (or maybe not) and his wife Toffee has invited the audience to the wake. Chris, his nephew, warns them they should check their weapons at the door (and if they don't have any, he has extras). Uncle Senior has a rigged dice game going and Tony's ma, Nona, is – well … just nuts. Tony's shrink Dr. Malaise is giving free analysis, while Father Flip isn't sure what he is doing. One thing is for sure, almost no one seems sad that Tony is gone and they certainly don’t seem happy once he's discovered alive.
