The Davis Musical Theatre Company announces open auditions for its production of the fun and yet creepy “Little Shop of Horrors.”
Auditions will be at 7:30 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 11, and Monday, Jan. 12, at the Jean Henderson Performing Arts Center, 607 Peña Drive, No. 10 in Davis. Callbacks will be Tuesday, Jan. 13, also at 7:30 p.m., at the same location.
Directed by Brian McCann, with musical direction by Tonya Whitson-Whennen, and choreography by Kelly Lynn Jordan and Logan Sexton, the musical tells the story of meek floral assistant Seymour Krelborn, who 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 are open for all roles. For a list and description of all characters and roles, go to dmtc.org/auditions. Bring a prepared song (not from “Little Shop of Horrors”) and sheet music, with piano accompaniment (piano accompanist is provided). There will also be cold readings. To learn more about the audition process at DMTC, and what you will need, go to dmtc.org/auditionsabout.
Rehearsals begin Sunday, Jan. 18. The show opens Friday, March 6, and runs through Sunday, March 29. See if you’ll see Seymour and his infamous plant….
