Caroyvinds t( From Staff Reports v Representatives from Carowinds theme park will soon begin a week-long, six-city search for performers for the 1984 live shows program. The first of these auditions for singers, dancers and musicians will be held Jan. 29 at Carowinds. Auditions will be held at USC Jan. 30, and lnr^r at sevprnl nthpr srhnnls nnr) universities throughout North and South Carolina. Bill Miller, Carowinds' live i^ows manager, said there are about 85 performer and technician positions to be filled for the 1984 season. In addition to Miller, a representative from Taft Attractions, Carowinds' parent company, will be present at all auditions. The auditions are being held to find performers for Carowinds' seven live shows, and to scout performers for other Taft-owrted parks in Cincinnati, Ohio, and Richmond, Va., as well. "Most people who work for us have had some sort of training and experience, but not necessarily vast amounts," Miller said. "We look for talent, poise, enthusiasm and a good, positive attitude." Miller said alumni of these live shows have gone on to Broadway, television soap operas and internationally known dance companies. In addition, Taft Attractions has selected previous Carowinds' performers to perform on cruise ship lines, in United Service Organizations' tours overseas and in industrial shows.
