PERFORMANCES:
August 28th through September 19th, 2015

Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays at 8:00pm / Sundays at 2:00pm


 

PLOT SUMMARY: 

Psycho Beach Party is an insanely (literally!) fun romp on Malibu Beach in 1962 -- it's what happens when Gidget, Frankie & Annette, and Alfred Hitchcock are given a shotgun marriage. Teenage tomboy Chicklet Forrest desperately wants to be part of the surf crowd. The one thing getting in her way, however, is her unfortunate tendency towards multiple personalities ... and her most dangerous alter ego -- voracious vixen Ann Bowman -- has nothing less than world domination on her mind! Add men in drag, a B-movie star, and a villain of a mom who would make Joan Crawford cringe, and you've got a zany comedy that the Associated Press calls "fiendishly funny"! What better way to spend your summer? ~RATED PG-13

Prepare 1 minute of a standard or contemporary musical theatre song. DO NOT SING A SONG FROM THE SHOW. Bring sheet music in your key; an accompanist will be provided. A CD with an accompaniment-only track is also acceptable, provided it is edited and cued correctly. There will be cold reading from the script. Please also wear or bring comfortable dance attire, as all auditioners will be required to learn a short dance combination. This is an "open call" audition. Non-Equity, NO PAY.

PLOT SUMMARY: 

A true theatrical event, this legendary masterpiece is considered by many to be the greatest musical ever created. Surreal, sophisticated, compelling, heart-wrenching, and epic in scope, FOLLIES was penned by musical theatre legend Stephen Sondheim and author James Goldman, and uses musical theatre as a metaphor for the collapse of American innocence and naiveté in the post-Kennedy years.

The time is 1971, and theatre impresario Dimitri Weissman is hosting a reunion of ex-Follies performers in his crumbling theatre, setting the stage for a parade of brilliant pastiche numbers including "Losing My Mind," "I'm Still Here," and "Broadway Baby." Amid the reminiscing, two middle-aged couples confront some unpleasant truths about their past and present ... and come face-to-face with the future.
