Lincoln County Community Theater, the resident theater company at Damariscotta’s Lincoln Theater, will be holding auditions for its August production of “Damn Yankees” on Sunday, April 26 at 3 p.m. at the Lincoln Theater. No appointment necessary unless you are unable to attend the scheduled audition date.

Directed and choreographed by Emily Mirabile of Boothbay, with musical direction by John Mulcahy, the musical asks the all-important question: “Would you do anything to help your favorite baseball team win the pennant?”

In the Faustian baseball musical, “Damn Yankees,” Joe Boyd sells his soul to the devil to be the home run hitter that will guide his favorite team, the Washington Senators, to a win against those “damn Yankees.”

Featuring the classical musical theatre selections, “Heart” and “Whatever Lola Wants,” follow Joe in his quest to save his team ... and his soul.

Performance dates are Wednesday, Aug. 5 through Saturday, Aug. 8 and the production rehearsal schedule will based around the conflicts of the actors. However, there will be no conflicts accepted for the above performance dates or the weekend before Opening Night.

No a cappella auditions. Bring sheet music in the proper key, or CD with an accompaniment track. The “Damn Yankees” score will be available if you wish to audition with a selection from the show.

Be prepared to dance or read if needed by the director.

Callbacks are scheduled for Monday, April 27 at  7 p.m.

The theater company is also looking for a strong ensemble of women and men between the ages of 18 and 40 who will play wives, reporters, husbands, fans, etc. that sing well and are able to move.
