[NEohioPAL] PLAYERS GUILD AUDITION ANNOUNCEMENT - LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS

[Joshua Erichsen]

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

The Players Guild Theatre will hold auditions for the popular musical
LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS



A singing plant…a daring hero…a sweet girl…a demented dentist. It can only
mean one thing! LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS! A down-and out skid row floral
assistant becomes an overnight sensation when he discovers an exotic plant
with a mysterious craving for fresh blood. Soon the plant grows into an
ill-tempered, foul-mouthed, R&B-singing carnivore who offers him fame and
fortune in exchange for feeding its growing appetite, finally revealing
itself to be an alien creature poised for global domination! Charming,
tuneful and hilarious, with tongue firmly planted in cheek, LITTLE SHOP OF
HORRORS never fails to entertain! Come join us at the funniest shop in town!

Cast: Approx. 12-15 Adults



Roles Available:



AUDREY Bleached-blond, Billie-Dawn-like, secret love of Seymour's life. She
has poor self-worth and education, but incredibly good looks and a sweet
and vulnerable demeanor.



CRYSTAL, RONNETTE and CHIFFON Female street urchins, acting as the
occasional Greek Chorus. Hip and smart, these girls are the only ones who
have a grip on reality.



MR. MUSHNIK The seasoned owner of the failing East Side flower shop and
Seymour's nosy boss. He is profit-driven, greedy, and manipulative.



ORIN SCRIVELLO An egotistical dentist with a passion for leather and
sadistic tendencies. Audrey's abusive boyfriend, who is targeted by
Seymour.



SEYMOUR KRELBORN An insecure, put-upon florist's clerk and eventual hero.
He is a genuine, well-meaning man who is taken for granted because of his
clumsy ways and poor social skills.



THE PLANT (AUDREY II) Puppet. An anthropomorphic cross between a Venus
flytrap and an avocado, the plant has an appetite for human flesh that is
appeased by Seymour. Puppeteer doubles as other sizes of the plant.



VOICE OF THE PLANT An actor/vocalist located offstage. The voice is that of
a conniving, street-smart 'villain.' A funky Rhythm and Blues voice is
best.



3-5 Ensemble roles –

Derelict, Skid Row Occupants, Audrey II manipulations. (Singing / dancing
roles)
