auditions for Merchants
My name is Scot Gehret. I missed your auditions last weekend and I know it is probably too late to try out, but I was hoping you hadn't found someone for all the roles. I am a thirty-nine year old white male, 6'1", with brown eyes and hair. I have years of experience in theater and recently had roles in productions at the University of Northern Iowa. So, if there is any place available for me in this production I would appreciate a chance to lend a hand. My email is eduk8r_sg@yahoo.com and my phone number is 563.299.0666. I hope to hear from you, Scot Gehret
