Audition Notice

topic posted Sat, May 24, 2008 - 4:14 PM by  Laura Luna
Hello all,

I'd like to announce, with lots of excitement (and a little bit of "eek!") that my partner Kelly McCubbin and I are launching our own theatre and music production company: Penny Dreadful Theatricals!

We'll be making our maiden voyage this summer - we are currently in script development for a 1940's-style staged radio show, which will run at The Exit Theatre in San Francisco Aug. 2 & 3 / 9 & 10. In the long term, our plan is to add to the diversity of Bay Area theatre by developing and producing original theatre works, music shows, and lots of lovely, strange stuff in between.

So, logically enough, I wanted to send this audition notice out to our amazing community of performers. Feel free to send it to talented friends who might be interested. We're looking especially hard for young-faced folks who might be able to play 'The Kid' - as long as they're over 18 or has a parent willing to accompany them at rehearsals.

Kelly is handling auditions, so if you have interest, please contact him at the email addy listed in the notice.

And wish us luck!

AUDITION NOTICE

Kelly McCubbin and Penny Dreadful Theatricals are holding auditions for The Ukeapocalypse Radio Hour, a recreation of a 40’s-era radio show, performed in front of a theater audience. The first act is a fully-staged, behind-the-scenes comedy with music (in the tempo of “The Jack Benny Show”) about a has-been director and his hapless cast trying to stage a science fiction radio show. The second act is the radio show itself, performed by the actors in the style of a live broadcast. No pay.
