SINGIN’ IN THE RAIN, has earned the top spot atop AFI’s 100 Years of Musicals list and, in 2007, was ranked as the 5th greatest motion picture of all time. Now adapted for the stage, SINGIN’ IN THE RAIN captures the waning days of the silent screen era as they give way to new-fangled “talkies” and movie musicals.

Of course, in the end Kathy finds stardom, plus love with her leading man, Don Lockwood. Rate: All roles are paid positions. Additional info: Callbacks: Monday, Oct. 28th 6:30 pm to 9:00 pm.
