She was born with magical powers that she is still learning to control. In the past she has unwittingly harmed loved ones with them.

The post Cape Fear Regional Theatre announces auditions for Frozen: The Musical appeared first on North Carolina Theatre Conference.

Raleigh Little Theatre is seeking performers for its upcoming production of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead, by Tom Stoppard. This show will be presented in the Gaddy-Goodwin Theatre.

About the Show

Two minor characters from Hamlet suddenly find themselves at the center of one of theatre’s funniest and imaginative comedies and Stoppard’s most well known work. As the two lead characters search for answers, they encounter actors, royalty, pirates, impossible coincidences, and a world that never quite explains itself or lets them in on the full story. Filled with fast-paced wordplay, unforgettable performances, and surprising heart, Tom Stoppard’s modern classic is less about Shakespeare and more about all of us trying to figure out where we fit.

About the Roles

Raleigh Little Theatre encourages actors of any ethnicity, identity, ability, etc. to audition for any role. We actively encourage all performers to audition for the roles which they feel best suit their skills. If the script requires strict adherence to any characteristic(s), those will be listed in the character description. The characteristics describe the characters in the play.

Certain characters will be double cast (Polonius, Horatio, Laertes, Fortibras, possibly Ophelia, Gertrude, Claudius) as ambassadors, attendants, soldiers, spies, and pirates.

Rosencrantz (late 20s-30s, any gender) – A passive, easygoing friend of Hamlet who rarely questions events and tends to follow along. A charming optimist, emotionally open, eager to please.

Guildenstern (late 20s-30s, any gender) – A more anxious and philosophical friend of Hamlet who constantly tries to make sense of what’s happening. More analytical and sceptical; clings to logic, rules, and patterns.

The Player (40s+, any gender) – Charismatic leader of a traveling acting troupe; theatrical, confident, cynical, philosophical, and aware of the artificiality of life. The consummate showman and a person of the world. Has seen it all and then some. At the end of the day, a pragmatist and survivor. Has almost no principles other than dedication to their craft. A cynic and an idealist as it suits them.

Hamlet (late 20s-30s, male) – Prince of Denmark. Appears distant and unpredictable, brilliant, mercurial, brooding, tortured, and emotionally volatile.

Claudius (40+, male) – The (new) King of Denmark; Hamlet’s uncle and mighty opposite, now stepfather and king. Polite but a polished political operator who speaks with measured authority. Charismatic, ruthless, in a little over his head. Using Rosencrantz and Guildenstern for his own purposes.

Gertrude (40+, female) – The Queen; Warm, poised, graceful, elegant, socially adept, nobody’s fool, kindly but detached. Using Rosencrantz and Guildenstern without considering their fate.

Polonius (50+, male) – Court advisor to the king. Verbose, self-important, officious, and unwittingly comic. A chatterbox and a meddler.

Ophelia (20s-30s, female) – Polonius’ daughter and Hamlet’s (former) love interest; her tragedy occurs mostly in the background of the play. Intensely, operatically passionate; devoutly religious.

The Tragedians (Age 15+ and any gender) – A group of actors who perform dramatic plays, blurring the line between acting and reality. Versatile ensemble who inhabit multiple roles, embodying both comedy and menace. This ensemble includes members with some of the following skills: musical (drum, flute, horn), dancing, juggling, tumbling, clowning, circus skills, stage combat (armed & unarmed), and stylised movement, etc.

SHOW DESCRIPTION

Ever wondered what would happen if you took Bram Stoker’s legendary vampire tale and put it into a blender with Mel Brooks, Monty Python, and The 39 Steps? That’s just what happens in this lightning-fast, laugh-out-loud, 90-minute, gender-bending romp. When her sister, Mina, falls ill with a mysterious disease of the blood, Lucy Westfeldt and her fiancé, Jonathan Harker, enlist the help of famed female vampire hunter Doctor Jean Van Helsing. Their hunt for the dangerous and sexy Count Dracula abounds with clever wordplay and quick-change antics. Five actors play over a dozen roles in this bloodcurdlingly hilarious send-up of the literary classic.

CHARACTER DESCRIPTIONS

All ethnicities and races encouraged to audition for all roles.

Accents are not required for auditions, but they will be used in the show, so feel free to give them a shot!

Please note: all actors should be comfortable with possible kissing, touching, etc. Nothing too much, but it is a fairly “naughty” comedy! We will have an intimacy coach for the production.

Count Dracula: (male) Commanding European dialect. Hugely sexy, magnetically handsome, rock star presence with a killer body, he is a narcissist whose greatest love is himself – and his leather pants. Bored with women falling all over him, he becomes obsessed with Lucy when he hears of her strength and adventurousness. The less she needs him, the more interested he is. He travels to Whitby to find her and make her his bride for eternity. Character will be partially undressed at times.

Jonathan Harker: (male) RP British dialect. Prim and proper and obsessive-compulsive real estate agent, frightened of his own shadow. Engaged to his childhood crush Lucy Westfeldt and enamored of her fearlessness. Once bitten he loosens up…a lot… and becomes a Tom Jones-style rock star in leather pants. Character will be partially undressed at times.

Lucy Westfeldt: (female) RP British dialect. Brilliant, plucky earth scientist daughter of Dr. Westfeldt, she is full of energy and the spirit of adventure and often underestimated because of her beauty. Engaged to Jonathan, but when Dracula moves to Whitby, she is curious about his strange ways and impressed by their similar interests.

Mina Westfeldt: (female) RP British dialect. The less attractive, less intelligent Westfeldt daughter, she lives in her sister Lucy’s shadow and is desperate for attention. She is immediately (pathetically) receptive to Dracula’s charms.

Dr. Wallace Westfeldt: (male) RP British dialect. Lucy and Mina’s father, a blowhard; self-important misogynist given to proclamations and posturing with his pipe. A doctor caring for the criminally insane, he has recently lost his wife to consumption.

Dr. Van Helsing: (female) German dialect a la Mel Brooks. Brilliant and sturdy German vampire-hunting doctor from the University of Schmutz. Deadly serious in the way Germans can be, she is accustomed to people not believing she is a real doctor. Strong, shmart, unt bold, she is a woman of action.

Renfield: (male) Cockney dialect and salivary issues. Insane patient of Dr. Westfeldt who lives to serve and loves to eat bugs. In a word, the dude is nuts.

Kitty Rutherford: (female) Cockney dialect. A dotty kleptomaniac patient of Dr. Westfeldt, she serves as a maid in his house. Think Mrs. Lovett but servile and easily distracted.

Lord Cavendish: (male) Scottish dialect. Lucy’s suitor; a Scottish dolt.

Lord Worthington: (male) RP British dialect. Lucy’s suitor; posh, British and petulant.

Lord Havemercy: (male) Texas Accent. Lucy’s arrogant suitor from Memphis, a la Yosemite Sam.

Driver: (male) Eastern European or Russian dialect. The male, Transylvanian driver of the carriage carrying Jonathan to Dracula’s castle who tries to warn him. Borat meets Boris and Natasha.

Captain: (male) Sea Captain dialect. The salty captain of a doomed ship caught in a raging storm.

Bosun: (male) Irish dialect. A scurvy seaman who goes down with the ship in a storm.

Gravedigger: (male) Cockney dialect. A drunk gravedigger with a secret.

SIGN UP TO AUDITION

ABOUT THE PLAY: Chainsaws? Check. Singing Zombies? Check. A cabin in the woods and a whole lot of fake blood? Absolutely! The gleefully gory musical mashup based on the cult classic Evil Dead film series serves up over-the-top horror with a side of catchy tunes and outrageous comedy. It follows five college students who unleash ancient demons in an isolated cabin. Armed with a chainsaw and “boomsitck”, S-Mart employee Ash must battle his possessed friends. It’s campy, gory, and absurdly fun, a wild ride you don’t want to miss.

REHEARSALS: Rehearsals begin in late August, early September. The rehearsals schedule will be finalized after casting based on cast member conflicts. The goal is to have 5-day/per week rehearsal schedule. 

WHAT TO BRING: A headshot, one-page theatrical resume, AUDITION INFORMATION form, and 16-32 bars of sheet music for your audition song.

VOCAL AUDITIONS: Choose a 16-bar cut (30 seconds to one minute) of a song that showcases your vocal range and performance ability. Pop/rock and contemporary musical theatre are the styles of show music. Please make sure you have properly prepared your sheet music for our audition pianist: in the correct key, properly printed with ALL notes and words visible, hole-punched, and in a binder. Please no acapella singing

Cast of characters:

In reference to the character descriptions below – The characters in this show are on the binary and written with he/him or she/her pronouns as you will see in the following descriptions. However, we seek to be as inclusive as possible and ask gender non-conforming, genderqueer, transgender and non-binary actors to list on the audition form the roles they most identify with. 

All roles are open to consideration regardless of background, ethnicity, or sexual/gender orientation. All roles are Non-Paying/Non-Equity.

The Main Survivors

Ash Williams: The iconic, dim witted S Mart housewares employee. He evolves from a reluctant, nervous college kid into a confident, chainsaw wielding, one:liner:spouting hero who battles Kandarian Demons. 

Cheryl: Ash’s nerdy, easily spooked sister. She is the first to be possessed by the woods,  transforming into a brash, vulgar, and highly comedic demon. 

Linda: Ash’s perfect, sweet girlfriend. She acts as a voice of reason early on, but eventually becomes one of Ash’s most dangerous (and headless) adversaries. 

Scott: Ash’s crude, rebellious, and selfish best friend. He’s the stereotypical “party guy” who ignores warnings, accidentally unleashes the evil, and is the first to suffer the consequences. 

Annie: The brilliant, overbearing archaeologist. She arrives at the cabin searching for missing pages of the Necronomicon (Book of the Dead) and ends up leading the fight alongside Ash. 

 Supporting Cast & Demons

Shelly: Scott’s beautiful, ditzy, and party loving fling. She is quickly possessed by the evil forces and becomes a taunting demon. 

Ed: Annie’s cowardly, pushover boyfriend and fellow researcher. He eventually turns into a “bit part demon” while retaining his polite demeanor. 

Jake: A stereotypical, stubborn Southern local. He is hired to help guide Annie and Ed to the cabin but is largely reliable only for comedic missteps. 

Professor Knowby: The mysterious original owner of the cabin and the voice on the audio recordings who first translated the Book of the Dead.

The Moose: A highly unusual, mounted Candarian Demon moose head on the cabin wall that comes to life and belts out songs. 

 Ensemble & Creatures

Evil Trees: Sentient, nasty trees of the forest that trap and attack the campers.

Fake Shemps / Demons: A catch:all for various ensemble members who play background demons, severed body parts (including Ash’s possessed, detached hand), and other background gags.
