Box in the Wood Theatre Guild presents their next show -
Mr Burns: A Post-Electric Play.
In a future where a catastrophic event has wiped out electricity and civilization, a group of survivors initially gathers to recall and perform "The Simpsons" episode "Cape Feare". Over time, these shared memories and pop culture references transform into the foundation of a new society, evolving into a hybrid of myth, ritual, and musical theater. Act 1 is set months post event. Act 2 is set several years later. Act 3 is set 75 years after that.
Auditions will be held at the theater on Monday, July 21st and Wednesday, July 23rd from 5pm-7pm both nights. You can drive up to the cast and crew parking area right by the building and enter the side door. Once you audition, you are free to go.
We are looking for high school ages and up. Please prepare a monologue (~ 1 minute) and, if auditioning for a solo singing role, a chorus and verse from a desired song sung acapella (not necessary for other roles). There is some singing in this show, but it is different than a typical musical. Not all characters sing, and those that do are not required to sing well - don't let singing deter you from auditioning!
For any accommodations or if you have any questions, please contact Maddi Stuewer at
