The Empress Theatre is pleased to announce auditions for

“Daddy Long Legs – Pit Orchestra”
We are excited to offer an opportunity for the musician community to be a part of this production. This band is small, only a piano, cello and guitar. We are also looking for a violinist willing to add a bit of sparkle on top; there is no sheet music for a violin. Daddy Long Legs has large amount of underscoring throughout the show.
