Although our 1980 season is
barely over, it is again time ot
begin our 1981 audition tour in
search of more than 350 singers,
dancers, musicians, technic
ians, and stage managers need
ed to cast and produce our 14
live musical productions for next
year.
Our talent scouts will be
visiting 24 cities during the next
three months in an effort to find
young, versatile Broadway-type
talent to sing, dance and play all
the types of music we have here
at Opryland. 1 would like to ask
your help in spreading the word
about auditions and encourag
ing your students to try out for a
summer of professional per
forming experience. It is not
easy to find top quality talant
and no matter how much we
advertise, a lot of young enter
tainers do not hear about the
auditions until they are over,
and then it’s too late.
For young people who wnat a
career in show business, we can
offer professional voice, dance,
and music training; the chance
to be seen by influential people
in the music business, network
television producers, national
and syndicated entertainment
writers, as well as our 2 million
guests; and a good salary,
supplemented by road show
appearances (1981 Salaries:
$211.51 for performers. $179.13
for technicians, $254.80 for
stage managers, $269.05 for
musicians). Opryland offers its
entertainers a complete music
and dance rehearsal studio that
is open 24 hours a day, a
permission to hold outside jobs
as long as they do not interfere
with their Opryland perform
ance.
Last year selected Opryland
groups entertained at over 300
special events. As the home of
one of the country’s largest
television production facilities,
producers are using Opryland
talent for national and syndicat
ed shows taped in the park
complex. Some of Opryland’s
entertainers have landed major
recording label contracts or had
material recorded or published
as a result of their work in,
special showcase Opryland pro
ductions periodically arranged
for private showings to record
industry executives.
Opryland’s success is de
pendent on the quality of our
musical productions, and we
hope that you will take a look at
what we have to offer in
facilities, professional training
and media exposure, and re
commend that your students try
out for a summer at the “Home
of American Music”. If you
ahve any questions or need
additional brochures, please
contact the Opryland Entertain
ment Department.

What do you mean going hungry? At Atlantic Christian? Yes indeed, at Atlantic Christian!
Some students at ACC will be going without food for twenty-four hours, beginning at 5:00pnj.,
on November 19, and continuing luitil 5:00pm., on November 20.
Why? Good question! Let me go find out, be right back
Ah Hah! This is why. November 20, has been designated as World Harvest Day, which is a
day set aside each year to bring to light the catastrophic effects of the Third-world food shortage,
and the pain involved in starvation. The innocent victims that die each day ntunber in the
hundred-thousands.
Now, what does ACC students going hungry, have to do with world hunger? By getting
involved in a voluntary fast, you can participate in a nationwide effort to, not only collect a small
amount of money for aid to these impoverished nations, but yon will also be able to share in the
hunger pains that millions of people feel each day of their lives. The only difference between your
hunger and theirs is, that yours will only last twenty-four short hours. Theirs may go on for a
week or more at a time.
Here’s how it works. You simply agree to fast, by signing a sheet which will be available in the
Student Center, sometime next week, and then, just carry on your normal everyday activities.
True, after six or seven hours you may begin to feel famished, but you will come to a realization
that will be well worth that small pain hi your stomach, that being, that it is up to those of us, who
have been blessed with all the necessities, to take care of those persons who can’t help
themselves, for whatever the reason.
Well, give it a little thought, and keep your eyes open for more information which will be
available in next week’s COLLEGIATE* THE GREEN SLATE* POSTERS in the Student Center,
and from the WORLD FAST DAY hiformation table, which will be in the Student Center on the
day of November 19.
Have a nice day and ei\Joy dinner!
