Evil Dead: The Musical Auditions

Evil Dead: The Musical is a campy, comedic stage adaptation of the classic horror film franchise. It combines the plots of The Evil Dead & Evil Dead 2 into one hilarious, blood-soaked musical parody.
Auditions will be held July 20th & 21st at 6pm at the Birdcage Theatre, 1740 Bird St.
Age Limit: Performers in named roles must be 18 or older due to mature content, adult humor, and violence.
Vocal Audition: Prepare 16 to 32 bars of a contemporary rock, pop belt, or comedic musical theatre song. If you have a specific role you are interested in, prepare 16-32 bars of a song from the show.
Movement/Dance: Wear comfortable attire for a choreography call. Physical agility is highly emphasized.
Acting: Be prepared to do a cold read.
