Auditions in Aurora, Ohio for “Disaster!” (Aurora Community Theatre)

Aurora Community Theatre is now holding auditions for “Disaster!”, directed by Nicole Lucas—a hilarious musical comedy packed with iconic ’70s hits, big personalities, and nonstop chaos.

Set in 1979, the story begins as New York’s hottest crowd boards a floating casino and disco for a glamorous opening night… until a string of ridiculous disasters turns the party into a survival mission. Expect bell-bottom vibes, platform shoes, and comedy that keeps audiences laughing (and dancing in their seats). 🪩😄
