MEDORA, N.D. (AP) — Auditions for the 2013 Medora Musical will be held in Bismarck and the Fargo area this coming weekend.

StageWest Entertainment and the Theodore Roosevelt Medora Foundation say the auditions will be Saturday at the Good Shepherd Lutheran Church in Bismarck and Sunday at Concordia College in Moorhead, Minn.

The Medora Musical is an outdoor musical variety show held each summer in the Burning Hills Amphitheatre in the western North Dakota Badlands. Twelve singers are cast each season. Officials say they look for people who can sing, dance and act.

Director Curt Wollan says the musical through the years has been able to draw exceptional talent from the Upper Midwest and Canada.
