Art in the Park comes to town
The Saratoga Arts Commission and the Saratoga
Recreation Department are co-sponsoring Art
in the Park, a free event in conjunction with
the annual Celebrate Saratoga! activities. On
Sept. 28, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., many
Saratoga artists will convene at Wildwood
Park to present their arts and crafts, which
will represent many different mediums.
Additionally, the Saratoga Community Band
will give a concert in the park from noon to

lunch. Artist applications are being accepted
through Sept. 13. Call the Saratoga
Recreation Department at 408.868.1248 or

West Valley will hold auditions
The theater arts department at West Valley
College in Saratoga is holding cold
reading-style auditions Sept. 3 and 4 for two
upcoming productions.
The first, which will run Oct. 18-27, is
The Laramie Project. Written by Moises
Kaufman and members of the Tectonic Theater
Project, its topic is the 1998 case of
Matthew Shepard, a 21-year-old University of
Wyoming student who was kidnapped, beaten,
tied to a prairie fence and left to die,
simply because he was gay. It comprises roles
for 20 male and female performers, ages 16
and older.
Auditions will also take place for Cheaper
by the Dozen, set to run Nov.
22-Dec. 8. Dramatized by Christopher
Sergel from a book written by Frank B.
Gilbreth Jr. and Ernestine Gilbreth Carey, it
is a comedy set in the 1920s and based on the
real-life story of the Gilbreth family. A
dozen children are growing up in a house
headed by an "efficiency expert" father and a
psychologist mother, which makes for some
very interesting experiences. Roles are
available for nine males and nine females,
ages 8 to 70.
All auditions take place at 7 p.m. in the
West Valley Campus Theatre, 14000 Fruitvale
Ave. in Saratoga. Callbacks will be Sept.
5-6 in the same venue, with rehearsals
beginning on Sept. 9. People interested in
technical theater work are welcome to
register during the auditions. For more
information, call 408.741.2058.
