The play is a semi-autographical tale covering 26 years in the life of the playwright Jim Geoghan. Both a comedy and drama, it is the story of Jim and his father, a WWII bomber pilot. Jim was amazed by his father when he was a child. Later, he wasn’t as amazed and told him so. As an adult, Jim realized he wasn’t so amazing himself. Happy ending.

Tips for Auditioning

• Your audition begins the moment you walk in the door. 
• Be on time or even 15 minutes early to complete paperwork and to relax and focus while you wait.
• Wear neat, clean clothing that is comfortable and allows movement. Your shoes that stay on your feet and are easy to move in quietly.  No flip-flops, Crocs, high heels, boots, etc. please. Don’t come in costume.
• It’s OK to be nervous.  
• Be sure you are going to be available for all rehearsals and performances. Let us know of any conflicts you may have with the rehearsal schedule.
• Callbacks may be necessary to put together the right cast.
• Unfortunately not everyone who auditions will be cast. Please consider volunteering to help behind the scenes with the production in other ways.
