THE DALLES — Serious Theater is holding auditions for their first production of the 2022 season, “The Stinky Cheese Man.” Though the characters may be familiar, each of your favorite storybook fables is cunningly derailed in this adaptation of Jon Scieszka and Lane Smith's children's book of fractured fairy tales. Everything from "Chicken Little" to "The Gingerbread Man" gets a complete makeover. Fun music and witty narration accompany the likes of ineloquent giants, sassy barnyard animals, colossal cow pies, and enough stinky cheese to go around.

This production will be a reader’s theater in the form of a radio show set in the 1990s, and Serious Theater is looking for eight to 10 persons of all ages.
