Join us for this spooky, kooky musical comedy! We’re looking for kind, hardworking people who want to have fun and put on a great show. Cast members may be asked to help with set construction if available.

What to Prepare:

• 16–32 bars of a song that shows off your voice

• Be ready for choreography

Rehearsals begin July 21, typically Monday–Thursday evenings, adjusted for cast availability.
