Wheaton Drama

The time has come to round out the cast of our It’s a Wonderful Life Radio Show (which will run December 14-16, 2012) by casting the Jingle Singers.  Director Sean Ogren is searching for three female voices that can blend a la The Andrews Sisters’ sound.  The Jingle Singers will be a big part of the show as they sing original commercial jingles and classic holiday favorites.   

Auditions will be Sunday, September 23, 2012 starting at 7pm, and audition materials will be available one week prior.  The auditions will be in WDI’s Playhouse 111 basement.  Please contact Sean Ogren at seanogren@gmail.com to set up an audition time.

Wheaton Drama, Inc. (WDI), held its annual Colby Awards celebration August 4 at Playhouse 111. The Colby Awards are named in honor of Colby Jones, a longtime WDI member who passed away in 1996. The Awards recognize volunteers for their outstanding contributions backstage and behind the scenes.

This year’s Colby Awards evening began with an hour for socializing, cocktails, and hors d’oeuvres.  Following that, the Colby Committee interspersed the Awards presentation with song parodies.  After the presentations, attendees had time for more socializing, plus dessert and dancing. (more…)
