The Racine Theatre Guild will be holding open auditions for "Dracula: A Comedy of Terrors" on Monday, August 25 at 7 p.m. and Tuesday, August 26 at 7 p.m.
ABOUT THE SHOW
Sink your teeth into a comedy that’s perfect for all blood types. Bram Stoker’s Count Dracula meets his comedic match in a madcap, lightning-fast romp to Transylvania. When Lucy Westfeldt’s sister Mina falls ill with a mysterious disease of the blood, she and her meek fiancé, Jonathan Harker, enlist the help of famed vampire hunter Doctor Jean Van Helsing in a zany hunt for the devilish beast. In a nod to Monty Python, The 39 Steps, and The Carol Burnett Show, their hijinks are sure to get your heart racing and induce blood-curdling screams – of laughter!
ROLES / CASTING INFO
Please note that the play lovingly sends up gender “norms” in the style of some of our comedic heroes like Charles Ludlam and Monty Python, in that all characters can be played by actors of any gender, ethnicity, age, or type. Broad accents will be used in the show, but are not necessary for auditions.
Roles are open to individuals 18 and older. All actors, EXCEPT the one playing Dracula, will be playing multiple roles. There is the possibility of doubling parts being shifted and will be determined by auditions/callbacks.
- Actor One: Harker / Suitors / Bosun / Gravedigger
- Actor Two: Dr. Westfeldt / Renfield / Captain
- Actor Three: Lucy / Kitty/ Driver
- Actor Four: Mina / Van Helsing
- Actor Five: Dracula
AUDITION DETAILS
Director Michael Clickner will hold auditions at the Racine Theatre Guild. No appointments necessary and you need to only attend one of the days of auditions. Auditions consist of a cold reading from the script. Scripts may be checked out for $10 in advance from the box office which will be returned when the script is turned in.
Individuals of all levels of experience and backgrounds are invited to audition.
