OVERVIEW / SYNPOSIS
"The meek floral assistant Seymour Krelborn stumbles across a new breed of plant he names "Audrey II" - after his coworker crush. This foul-mouthed, R&B-singing carnivore promises unending fame and fortune to the down and out Krelborn as long as he keeps feeding it, BLOOD. Over time, though, Seymour discovers Audrey II's out of this world origins and intent towards global domination!"
AUDITIONS
The first round of auditions will be held Saturday, April 12th, beginning at 1pm and will overlap with our auditions for "Ride the Cyclone." Registration is required to reserve your audition slot. Each actor will be given a 10 minute time slot, and times will be sent out following registration. If you are auditioning for both shows, you will perform both audition pieces back to back. Actors can select a 16 to 32 bar cut of any song from the show to sing for their audition. Please make sure to know the time stamp, so that we can pull up the song with ease.
CALLBACKS
The date for callbacks will be determined once we selected our cast for Ride the Cyclone, which is auditioning the same day.
REHEARSALS
Rehearsals will begin in July and will be held in the afternoons and evenings. A full rehearsal schedule will be made following casting to take into account potential cast conflicts. (Not all actors will be called to every rehearsal).
TECH WEEK AND PERFORMANCES
Tech week will begin on Sunday, August 3rd, and we will rehearse each night that week. Exact times will be determined following the audition and casting process. Actors should keep this week open.
Ticketed performances will be held August 8th, 9th, and 10th.
