Auditions to select the cast for the 13th annual Fairfield Follies will take place from 5:30 to 9 p.m. on Monday, Feb. 6, Tuesday, Feb. 7, and Wednesday, Feb. 8, in the auditorium of Bunnell High School, 1 Bulldog Blvd., Stratford.

Students from public and private high schools need attend only one of the three evenings.

In case of a snowstorm, an extra audition will be added on Thursday, Feb. 9.

Students should be prepared with a song. Some will be asked to perform a dance combination, which will be taught on the night of the audition. (Dancers should bring their tap shoes.)

"Follies 2012: Raise Your Voice!" will include highlights from Broadway musicals past and present, including Sister Act, from which its title is derived.

Two evening performances are scheduled for May 18 and 19, with a matinee Sunday, May 20, all in the Bunnell High School auditorium.

Beginning in early March, rehearsals will take place at local venues on Mondays through Thursdays from 6 to 9 p.m. and on Fridays from 3:15 to 6 p.m. Cast members are only required to attend on days when their musical selections are being rehearsed.
