Home Made Theater Holds Open Auditions for 

The Addams Family

 

Home Made Theater announces open auditions for their October production of
the regional premiere of The Addams Family, music and lyrics by Andrew
Lippa, book by Marshal Brickman and Rick Elice, directed by Dawn Oesch,
musical direction by Cyndi Merrill, and choreographed by Johnny Martinez.
Auditions will be held on Monday, May 5th from 7-9pm and Tuesday, May 6th
from 6-7:30pm followed by call backs Tuesday evening at the Spa Little
Theater in Saratoga Spa State Park. The cast consists of men and women
ranging in age from 18+, and one boy age 10-14.

The weird and wonderfully beloved Addams family created by cartoonist
Charles Addams comes to devilish life in this bright and comically macabre
new musical.  Morticia and Gomez Addams want to continue living amongst
death, pain and suffering, the way they always have. But then there's a
change in plans. Their eldest child, Wednesday, has fallen in love with a
strange boy, Lucas Beineke. To the Addams, strange is normal. Happy is sad.
The Addams believe life revolves around death. To Morticia and Gomez's own
complexity, they invite Wednesday's new boyfriend's family to their home.
Many strange things happen the night the Beinekes come to visit.

Those auditioning should prepare a 16-bar excerpt from a song of their
choice and bring their own sheet music, as a pianist will be provided.
Upbeat songs only, no ballads. Selections from the show are allowed. No a
capella singing. Actors should wear comfortable clothing and appropriate
shoes and bring a current photo & resume. Photos cannot be returned.  Dance
auditions will be at callbacks for all roles except Lurch.

Production dates are weekends, October 10-26, 2014. Rehearsals begin in late
August with a full schedule beginning September 2nd. Some July/August dates
may be scheduled according to availability.  No appointments are necessary
for the audition.  For a detailed flyer with character descriptions or
questions about the audition, contact HMT at 518-587-4427, or visit their
