[Capdist-auditions] Auditions for Troy Civic Theatre's Summer Production of Little Shop of Horrors

[Michael Ciaravella]

Troy Civic Theatre will be holding auditions for it's summer production of Little Shop of Horrors on June 23rd and 24th from 6:30-9:00pm.


Troy Civic Theater invites actors of all ages to audition for our Summer Production of Little Shop of Horrors!


A deviously delicious Broadway and Hollywood sci-fi smash musical, Little Shop Of Horrors has devoured the hearts of theatre goers for over 30 years. Howard Ashman and Alan Menken (Disney's The Little Mermaid, Beauty And The Beast, and Aladdin) are the creative geniuses behind what has become one of the most popular shows in the world.

The meek floral assistant Seymour Krelborn stumbles across a new breed of plant he names "Audrey II" - after his coworker crush. This foul-mouthed, R&B-singing carnivore promises unending fame and fortune to the down and out Krelborn as long as he keeps feeding it, BLOOD. Over time, though, Seymour discovers Audrey II's out of this world origins and intent towards global domination!

Audition Dates: Sunday, June 23rd, 2019 from 6:30pm to 9pm and Monday, June 24th from 6:30pm to 9pm. If needed, call backs will be held immediately following auditions on Monday.

Audition Location: The Arts Center of the Capitol Region - 265 River Street, Troy NY 12180

Preparations: We request all auditionees to prepare 32 bars of a song in the style of the show, as well as a short monologue. (comedic or dark) All auditionees should also come prepared for a brief movement audition.

PLEASE NOTE: Due to the nature of the design of the show, all music will be provided by full orchestral tracks, and all auditionees will be required to demonstrate they can sing along with pre-recorded accompaniment. An accompanist will not be provided, but tracks from the show and speaker setups will be made available for those who bring their own prerecorded accompaniment.
