Quarryland Men’s Choir Auditions @ First United Church 2420 E 3rd St, Bloomington, IN
Aug 5 @ 6:00 pm – 7:00 pm
Join us for Season 18, The Road to Festival 2020! Men and transmen are eligible to sing – all orientations and genders are welcome to join as off-stage members.
No experience necessary – auditions consist of an interview with the artistic staff and vocal exercises like scales and a sing-along with the piano. Each audition takes 5-10 minutes. No appointment necessary – but plan to stay for rehearsal 7-9:30pm afterward.
2020 is a unique opportunity for folks who want to sing at an international music festival. Quarryland will perform in Bloomington for our traditional winter and spring concerts as well as gigs like World AIDS Day, Bloomington Pridefest, Spencer Pride, and other opportunities related to our mission. Performers who sing with QMC for the entire season are eligible to travel with us to Minneapolis for the quadrennial GALA Choruses Musical Festival 2020. We’ll even pay your $275 registration fee to attend.
Frozen: Monroe Civic Theatre @ Ivy Tech/Waldron Rose Firebay, 122 S. Walnut, 4th and S. Walnut Sts., Bloomington

FROZEN by Bryony Lavery is the story of three people: a serial killer, the mother of one of his victims, and a psychiatrist that is studying the minds of serial killers. Told over the course of two decades, Frozen looks at loss, hate, fear, redemption and forgiveness.
