Hollywood comes to Cedar Rapids for tryouts in Dribble
About 165 people attended Wednesday night auditions for speaking roles in the film Dribble to be shot in Cedar Rapids starting around August 10. Director Michael de Gaetano said about a dozen parts were filled with more auditions unlikely. He may interview Iowa City residents and others who missed the session, while Fly-by-Night Dinner Theatre head Dick Hardiman could be contacted. The project, tied to a girls professional basketball team and the new Women's Basketball League plans, has drawn support from George Nissen and the Comets. Filming will continue in Cedar Rapids for about four weeks before moving to Des Moines.
