Grassrois Theatre Company director, Doug Bambrough, is
recovering slowly from what he describes as-one of the most
difficult and traumatic audition experiences of his career.

Faced with the vital task of choosing a cast from among an
outstanding, talented group.of aspirants to the upcoming
musical production. ‘‘A Chrous Line’’, Bambrough suffered
along with those he was forced to cut.

“Everyone who tried out had talent. | wish we could take
them all. but unfortunately that’s impossible. [haven't slept
for days just worrying about it.”’
~ Bambrough calls the show: one of. the most. difficult
musicals in the world. “lt demands an abundance of talent as
performers must sing, and dance as well as act.’

The final cast is a cross section of the community with 15
students, currently in. attendance. at. Parkland, 10 former
students, five Saanich district teachers, one doctor, a univer- -
sity student, two. secretaries, an aerobics instructor ‘and
several moms and dads: ~

On stage performers include leads Oléen ‘Cassidy, Tom

Supporting roles are held by Linda Lark in, Jeff Zerr, Paula

Backing up the cast will be a group of singers who will. not

“Chris. Donison ‘is the conductor: and musical. arranger;
Sylvia Hosie handles. the choreographer; Dale MacIntosh | is
musical director and Rebekah Fricker is stage manager.

Although Bambrough describes.some elements of the show |

f° as controversial, ‘‘They deal with life,’ he‘is, convinced that
