ALL SHOOK UP is a new musical inspired by and featuring the songs of Elvis Presley. Into a square little town in a square little state rides a guitar-playing roustabout who changes everything and everyone he meets in this hip-swiveling, lip-curling musical fantasy featuring such classics as "Heartbreak Hotel," "Jailhouse Rock," and "Don't Be Cruel." We will be casting 16 people between the ages of 16 & 60 to play the residents of the town. Most roles require actors who can sing and there will be featured roles for dancers. ALL SHOOK UP performs April 20 - May 12, 2012.
Buddy Holly’s brief life has become the stuff of legend. BUDDY: THE BUDDY HOLLY STORY is a celebration of that legend and catches that unique mixture of innocence, determination, humor and charm that was Buddy Holly and wraps it up into a package that truly deserves the billing: “The World’s Most Successful Rock & Roll Musical.” We will be casting 14 actors and 3 musicians between the ages of 21 & 50 to play various people from Buddy’s life including Richie Valenz, The Big Bopper and Buddy’s wife. Not all roles require singing. BUDDY performs September 7 - 30, 2012.
THE FROG PRINCE is part of The Panto Project and will perform for young audiences in Farmland as well as other local and regional venues. This one-act comedy is not a musical, but requires actors with good comedic skills. We will be casting 5 people of various ages. THE FROG PRINCE performs Saturdays in May & June, 2012.
THE LIVE RADIO SHOW is a new project which will feature classic and newly written radio comedies and dramas performed live in front of an audience while being simultaneously broadcast over an on-line radio station. This is a monthly non-musical program with different scripts each month. We will be casting up to 10 actors of various ages. THE LIVE RADIO SHOW performs on the fourth Saturday of each month from March through December, 2012.
