What would you like to see performed at Playhouse?

The Lake City Playhouse is looking for play suggestions for its 2006-07 season. Suggestions should include as much information as possible, not just the play’s title. Factors affecting the final selections include length, royalty costs, number of characters, genres, production costs, audience preferences and the theater’s mission statement.

You can mail your suggestions to 1320 E. Garden Ave., Coeur d’Alene, ID 83814, or e-mail them to playhouse@imbris.com. The deadline is noon Friday.

The playhouse also is holding auditions for its Reader’s Theater production of “Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead” by Tom Stoppard, which will be performed Nov. 19 at 7 p.m. in the Erlendson Coffee House.

Auditions will be Oct. 25 at 6:30 p.m. in the Harding Family Center meeting room, 411 N. 15th St., Coeur d’Alene. Up to nine men and two women are needed.

For more information, call the playhouse at (208) 667-1323.
