The Room Upstairs Theatre Company is excited to announce auditions for their next show
Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street
Directed by Carolyn Cutri
OVERVIEW OF THE SHOW
Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street is the unsettling tale of a Victorian-era barber who returns home to London after fifteen years of exile to take revenge on the corrupt judge who ruined his life. When revenge eludes him, Sweeney swears vengeance on the entire human race, murdering as many people as he can, while his business associate Mrs. Lovett bakes the bodies into meat pies and sells them to the unsuspecting public.
This is a non-equity, non-paying, volunteer production.
