Auditions 1/8/22
The Walpole Players will be holding auditions for “Grumpy Old Men – the Musical” by Dan Remmes, music by Neil Berg, on Sunday, January 8, from 2-4 PM in the Helen Miller Theater at the Walpole Town Hall. The play is a comedy about an old feud between two neighbors complicated by the arrival of an attractive widow, with a romantic subplot involving the two antagonists’ children. If you have already received a script to read, please bring it with you. Auditions will include singing as well as reading. There are several parts to be cast, including some primary and secondary characters, as well as many smaller parts. Show dates are May 12, 13, 19, and 20, directed by Barbara Kasper with Walt Sayre as musical director.
Walpole Graduation – 6/4/20
The Walpole 8th grade graduation is this Thursday, June 4th at 6:30. It is being held at the WES soccer fields. Sam Jacobs would like to have a parade afterwards around town to celebrate the graduates. The fire and police departments on board to lead the parade. It would be great to get community members to stand outside too congratulate the graduates. Only immediate family is allowed to attend the graduation ceremony so this would be our chance to show these young people that we are proud of them.
The exact timing if the parade is uncertain because it depends on the length of the ceremony but it should be around 7:30 or 7:45. After all, parades seldom seem to begin on time!
For your information, here is the parade route.
