[Capdist-announce] BatBoy Seeks Musical Director

[TomH823 at aol.com]

SLOC's third show of the upcoming season is looking for a musical  director.  
 
Bat Boy is based on a character  created by the satirical newspaper The 
Weekly World Report. Ever since  introduction during the 1980’s, Bat Boy’s 
adventures have been a favorite  feature for their readers.    Bat Boy - The Musical 
begins with the discovery of the half bat half boy  in a cave in a West 
Virginian cattle ranching town.  The wild uncivilized creature is spared  death and 
educated and assimilated into society.  But can you truly remove the beast 
from  the creature?  Cows and then  townspeople start to die and fingers and 
clues all lead to Bat Boy.   Secrets kept for years are  revealed but can the 
bloodshed be stopped?  
Bat Boy has richly textured characters that are normal persons placed in  
extraordinary circumstance providing conflict and the source of the humor in the  
piece. It is another example of a true ensemble show - each person being as  
important as the next.  The  production has a 50’s meets the 90’s feel of pop 
rock anthems and catchy lyrics  provided by Laurence O’Keefe – most recently 
known as the composer of Legally  Blonde currently running on Broadway.   
The Musical Director, along with the Director will be responsible for the  
overall vision and feel of the show.  The Musical Director will be  responsible 
for teaching all vocal parts, preparing solo work with actors,  coordinating 
underscoring with dialogue and hiring and directing the pit  orchestra.  A 
small stipend is available as well as payment as a musician  for the show.  The 
musical director must play the piano or arrange for an  accompanists for all 
rehearsals.  There is an opportunity for a person  without experience to partner 
with a seasoned musical director to share  responsibilities.   
Production dates are March 7, 8, 9 and 13 though 17, 2008.  Additional 
information can be obtained from the  director, Tom Heckert at 877 - 6777 or by
