Experience the joy and excitement of the
golden age of Tin Pan Alley when THE ALL NIGHT STRUT! struts its stuff in a no holds-barred celebration of the age
of be-bop, jazz and swing.
An anthology of swinging, slinky, sensuous songs, THE ALL NIGHT STRUT covers the American
experience of the Depression Era of the 1930's, the patriotic fervor of World War II and the post war boom of the late 1940's
with great style and heady optimism. From the funky jive of late night jam sessions in Harlem to the sophisticated elegance
of El Morocco to the romance of the Stage Door Canteen, this is an evening filled with jazz, blues, gospel, be-bop, swing
and classic song standards that tug at the heart, tickle the funny bone and raise the rafters. Filled with some of the greatest
songs of the '30's and '40's such as "Juke Box Saturday Night", "Ain't Misbehavin'," "Don't Sit Under
The Apple Tree," "Brother Can You Spare A Dime," "Chattanooga Choo-Choo," "Gimme A Pigfoot And
A Bottle Of Beer," "I'll Be Seeing You," "Fascinating Rhythm," "As Time Goes By," and "It
Don't Mean A Thing If It Ain't Got That Swing," THE ALL NIGHT STRUT is irresistible, totally entertaining and a red-hot
winner!

"Mrs. Robinson, you're trying to seduce me. Aren't you?" The infamous
phrase from the great American classic film. Based on the movie adapted by Terry Johnson adapted from the novel by Charles
Webb. It's the summer of 1965, golden boy and very recent college graduate Benjamin Braddock returns home to the lap of California
luxury with a serious case of the now-what-do-I-do-with-my-life blues. Benjamin needs to "find himself" -- but finds
himself becoming, instead, a bedtime boy-toy for the ruthless Mrs. Robinson. It's an affair that gives riotous and racy new
meaning to May-December romance -- until Benjamin meets Elaine. Smart, pretty, 20 year-old Elaine, Ben's soul-mate, Ben's
Juliet, Ben's dream come true -- and Mrs. Robinson's daughter. For Mature Audiences Only. For more info please go to www.rosewatertheatre.com

The Octette Bridge
Club
Kudzu
Playhouse is holding open non-equity auditions for The Octette Bridge Club by P. J. Barry on Tuesday, January 12 and Wednesday,
January 13 at 7pm. Adriana Bosna Warner will be directing. We will be casting 1 man (27) and 8 women (sisters) between the
ages of 37 and 54. Be prepared to do cold readings from the script. There are eight wonderful roles for women in this sentimental
comedy about American life in a bygone era. On alternate Friday evenings, eight sisters meet to play bridge and gossip. The
first act takes place in 1934; the second ten years later during a Halloween bridge party where each acts out her costume's
persona. The emotionally distraught youngest, who does a hilarious Salome belly dance, has just gotten out of a sanitarium
and knows that she must cut the bonds to her smothering family and strike out on her own. One woman must sing and two must
play the piano. The audition will be at Kudzu Playhouse at 10743 Alpharetta Highway in the Brannon Square Shopping Center
in Roswell, Ga. 30076. The show will run March 5-April 4, 2010 on Friday and Saturday nights at 8pm and Sunday at 3pm. Email
