Denton Community Theatre Announces Auditions for

 

The Mystery of Edwin Drood

By Rupert Holmes

 

Auditions for The Mystery of Edwin Drood , will be held August 29 & 30 at 7:00 pm at the Campus Theatre, located at 214 W. Hickory Street in downtown Denton .  The production is being directed by Brad Speck and Jim Laney with music direction by Ray Staniszewski and choreography by Cindy Lee.

 

Auditions are open – no appointments Auditoners should bring a prepared song and sheet music in the style of the show. Please be prepared to sing 16 bars with piano. Please no cd's or recorded music. Wear comfortable clothes/shoes for movement/dance. Cold readings from the script will also be included in the audition process. A resume and photo are welcomed, but not required.

 

There are roles for 20-30 actors, singers, and dancers – high-school age and above, with approximately equal numbers of males and females.

 

Based on Charles Dickens' last, unfinished work, this musical comedy has multiple endings – each audience chooses who the murderer is! Drood has a Victorian setting and employs the “show within a show” device as music hall performers portray the Dickens characters of the story. Truly a unique theatrical experience for performers and audience alike!

 

Performances will be Oct 29-31 and Nov. 5-7. Any conflicts that you may have between the audition and the final performance will need to be noted on the audition sheet.
