Amenia’s holiday show to hold tryouts

AMENIA — Children interested in the theatrical and performing arts are encouraged to try out for Amenia’s Free Performing Arts Program in October.

The audition will be for  the town’s holiday performance.

The program is led by instructor Heather Holohan-Guarnieri and begins on Saturday, Oct. 8 from noon to 2 p.m. at the Amenia Town Hall Auditorium, located at 4988 Route 22.

Amenia Councilwoman Vicki Doyle encourages students in grade three through high school to participate. They should register by Wednesday, Oct. 5.
