The Amherst Center for Senior Services will present “The Audition” - a live theatre presentation on Friday, September 7, 2012 at the Center located at 370 John James Audubon Parkway in Amherst.

“The Audition” is a good old fashioned comedy written by Steve Petix and is the story of a talented young singer/songwriter who blows into town and enthusiastically shows up at a nightclub audition, only to discover the proprietor (a grizzled former Vaudevillian Comic) is in search of a new headline comedian to save his struggling club. 

The doors will open at 5:30 pm, followed by cocktails and hors d’oeuvres at 6:00 pm.  The show starts at 7:00 pm and will be followed by a coffee bar .  There is no cost to attend the event but reservations are required by calling 636-3059.

The event is made possible through the generous sponsorship of the Amherst Senior Citizen’s Foundation, People, Inc., FM Communications and Try-It Distributing.

The Amherst Center for Senior Services wants to help area seniors beat the heat by enjoying the numerous activities and events at the Center, which is delightfully air conditioned.

To become a member, you must be age 55 or older or that person’s younger spouse.
