The Sherman Playhouse Holds Casting Call for
The Rocky Horror Show
July 12, 13 & 14
SHERMAN, CONN (June 24, 2015) – The Sherman Playhouse is seeking a large cast of men and women (ages 20 to 60) for the outrageous cult musical comedy THE ROCKY HORROR SHOW, with Book, Lyrics, and Music by Robert O’Brien.
On the way to visit an old college professor, two clean-cut young people, Brad Majors and his fiancée Janet Weiss, run into trouble and seek help at the freaky Frankenstein mansion. However, little do they know that the estate is inhabited by alien transsexuals from the planet Transylvania, and Dr. Frank N. Furter is in the midst of one of his maniacal experiments. What transpires is nothing less than THE ROCKY HORROR SHOW, one of the most deliberately kitschy, campy, funny, rock ‘n’ roll, sci-fi, gothic epics to ever grace the stage.
Auditions are Sunday, July 12, from 1:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m., and Monday and Tuesday, July 13 and 14, from 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. at The Sherman Playhouse, 5 Route 39 North (next to the fire station), in Sherman, CT.
Auditioners should be prepared to sing a full song (songs from the show are acceptable) and should provide their own backing music on CD or MP3 (there will be a CD player/speaker system available) or be prepared to sing A Cappella. There will be no accompanist available. Auditioners should be familiar with the show and expect to do cold readings. All roles, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE NARRATOR, are available and both professionals and amateurs are welcome. No appointments are necessary. For more details and character breakdowns, visit SHERMANPLAYERS.ORG.
THE ROCKY HORROR SHOW is under the direction of Francis A. Daley of Danbury.
Performances will run from October 2 to 31.
The Sherman Playhouse is a non-Equity theatre company located at 5 Route 39 North (next to the fire station) in Sherman, CT.
