“Here we go” all of you “Super Troopers!” Our staff is ready to set sail to the beautiful islands of Greece this summer... all we need is you! We have roles for all sorts of people and look to cast a diverse group of actors, dancers and singers. We are requiring everyone who would like to be considered for Mamma Mia! to take part in the “dance” audition. "I can't dance" you say?
