TheatreWorks New Milford Holds Casting Call for ‘Zombie Prom’ March 6 and 7

NEW MILFORD, CONN. (Feb 20, 2017) – TheatreWorks New Milford is seeking a youthful cast of five female and five male actors/singers for the energetic high school musical Zombie Prom on Monday March 6 and Tuesday March 7 from 7 pm to 9 pm. The director is Matt Austin and the music director is Anna DeMasi.

This girl-loves-ghoul rock and roll Off Broadway musical is set in the atomic 1950s at Enrico Fermi High, where the law is laid down by a zany, tyrannical principal. Pretty senior Toffee has fallen for the class bad boy. Family pressure forces her to end the romance, and he charges off on his motorcycle to the nuclear waste dump. He returns glowing and determined to reclaim Toffee’s heart. He still wants to graduate, but most of all he wants to take Toffee to the prom. The principal orders him to drop dead while a scandal reporter seizes on him as the freak du jour. History comes to his rescue while a tuneful selection of original songs in the style of 50s hits keeps the action rocking across the stage.

All roles are available and both professionals and amateurs are welcome. TheatreWorks offers a stipend to all performers, technicians, and directors. AUDITION REQUIREMENTS CAN BE FOUND ON OUR WEBSITE http://theatreworks.us/actors/index.php

Rehearsals begin in May with performances running weekends July 15th – Aug 5th.
