Auditions set for Little Theatre's ‘Young Frankenstein’
Auditions for the Little Theatre of Tuscarawas County’s summer musical, “Young Frankenstein,” will be held from 6-9 p.m. Sunday and Monday, April 27 and 28, at the theater, located at 466 Carrie Ave. NW.
Directed by Tom Morris, the production is based on the 1974 Mel Brooks film and serves as a farcical parody of Mary Shelley’s classic novel “Frankenstein.” Due to adult themes, participants must be at least 15 years old to audition.
Those auditioning should prepare a three- to five-minute song in the musical theater genre, with accompaniment. A piano accompanist will be available. Auditions will also include cold readings from the script and simple movement choreography. Participants should wear loose, comfortable clothing.
The cast includes roles for approximately five men and five women of various ages, along with an ensemble of 15 to 20 performers.
