Children perform in last years' Spectacle of Miscellany variety show. An informational meeting about this year's show will be held Jan. 29.

DAYTON – Aspiring perfomers are invited to participate in Touchet Valley Arts Council's Spring Variety Show in March and/or a May Melodrama.

Tracy Barron and Jae Nichols will once again direct the annual variety show which will run March 16-18. This year's theme is "Delightful, Dazzling, and Dandy!"

The variety show is a great way to display local talent of all ages, without performers having to make the much larger time commitment required for the live fall production. It is also an ideal introduction to the theater for new performers, according to the directors.

"After many failures due to ineptitude, the notorious Rawlins gang rides into Gopher's Breath to rob the bank. While Rawhide Rawlins dreams of a farm for his ma, Sheriff Crutchwaffle, representing all that's rotten in town, also has his designs on the loot. He needs money to escape the clutches of Fat Jack Caldwell, the most feared man in the West. Stricken by love, Rawhide tries desperately to go straight."

An informational meeting will be held at the theater annex (enter from behind the theater) on Jan. 22 at 5:45 p.m..

Auditions will be held Feb. 1 from 4-7 p.m. and Feb. 3 from 9 a.m.-noon.
