The Arts Center is proud to present ‘The Death & Life of Sneaky Fitch’, by James L. Rosenberg.  ‘Sneaky Fitch’ is a Western tale, sure to delight audiences of all ages with singing cowboys, saloon girls, and shootouts! 

To the little town of Gopher Gulch, Sneaky Fitch is an abrasive disgrace—a no-good, drunken, nuisance. When he falls ill, there is a sigh of relief, and when he apparently dies there are few tears. But when Sneaky rises from his coffin, the picture changes, for no one dares confront a man who has come back from the dead. Capitalizing on his “invincibility” Sneaky soon takes over as sheriff, mayor, and town banker—not to mention facing down Rackham, the fastest gun in the West. In short, where he was formerly unbearable he is now insufferable. But is Sneaky really immortal?  Can he really outrun death?  And will things in Gopher Gulch ever be the same?

TICKETS:  Advanced tickets for ‘Sneaky Fitch’ are available here.  Tickets will also be available at the box office of the theatre on the day of the show.  Adult tickets are $8, children (ages 0-12) are $6.

The Arts Center is proud to present Summer Stand-Up at the Theatre!  This fun new comedy event features stand-up comic Jon Stringer!  

Jon Stringer was born in the early 80s as the youngest of 3 children. Perhaps expectedly, he developed into an incurable attention seeker with a gift for making people laugh. A self-described "late bloomer" Jon would only discover his passion for stand-up comedy on his 30th birthday. One comedy open mic changed his entire trajectory. Now he's still channeling his inner child to avoid maturity at all costs. His uniquely optimistic perspective, combined with a commanding stage presence, makes him one of the most sought after new acts in comedy. Jon’s high-energy and physical style has proven to entertain everywhere he goes: USO tours, College Campuses, Cruises, Corporate Events, and Comedy Clubs nationwide. Jon can be heard regularly on I Heart Radio as well as be seen on Netflix (‪Chingo Bling‬'s - They Can't Deport Us All). When he performs in your city, SEE HIM LIVE!!! He'll deliver the laughs you deserve and the ab workout you've been avoiding. 

For more information, check out Jon's website:  www.jonstringer.com.

Come audition to be a part of the cast for this hilarious Western tale! (Think Old West, with good ol’ fashioned stand-offs, cowboys & saloon girls, and lots of laughs!) We’re looking for 3 women and 10 men to bring this hilarious tale to life on stage…we know the right players are just waiting in the wings!

This casting call for “The Death & Life of Sneaky Fitch” is open to adults (18+). The time is come-and-go, but plan to spend 20-30 minutes with us. No need to prepare anything — we’ll have sides (short scenes from the script) for you to read with a partner.

***One role is for a singing, guitar-playing cowboy. If you’re interested in auditioning for this role, please bring a guitar with a prepared song.***
