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.
