[Capdist-auditions] Heathers the Musical Auditions

[Jj Buechner]

The Local Actors Guild of Saratoga proudly announces auditions for their October production of Heathers the Musical.
Based on the classic 1989 film, Westerberg High is ruled by a shoulder-padded, scrunchie-wearing junta: Heather, Heather and Heather, the hottest and cruelest girls in all of Ohio. But misfit Veronica Sawyer rejects their evil regime for a new boyfriend, the dark and sexy stranger J.D., who plans to put the Heathers in their place - six feet under.
Auditions are Tuesday, May 17th – 7pm at the Saratoga Arts Center, 320 Broadway, Saratoga Springs. Please prepare a 16-32 measure upbeat song. There will be a dance audition, please come prepared to move. Actors will read from provided sides. Video auditions will not be accepted. If you have any questions please email localactorsguild at gmail.com. Any actor auditioning that is under the age of 18 will need parental consent.
