Reminiscent of 1970s disaster cult films such as *The Poseidon Adventure*
and *Airport 1975*, *Disaster!* takes place in 1979 Manhattan during
opening night of the Barracuda, the first floating casino and discothèque
in New York. The characters gather unaware of impending natural disasters,
and the building’s lack of safety measures compounds these catastrophes.
This highly-comedic parody was conceptualized and written by Seth Rudetsky
(SiriusXM Broadway host) and Jack Plotnick (Film and Television actor).

The show will be directed by Tim Anderson, music directed by Ryan Bergeron,
and choreographed by Maggie Majercik.  Performers of all ethnicities (ages
16 and up) are invited to audition. No Equity contracts are available for
this production; all performers participate on a volunteer basis

As of November 1st, 2021, the Broadview Heights Spotlights requires all
volunteers, actors, and production staff to be fully vaccinated against
COVID-19 prior to auditions in order to be involved in any production.

Those auditioning should:

   - Sign up for an audition slot on the Spotlights Website
   <http://broadview-heights-spotlights.org/theater/shows/disaster-2/>.
   - Arrive 10 minutes prior to their audition slot to complete an audition
   form.
   - Plan to attend only one night of auditions.
   - Be familiar with the show and its music and themes.
   - Prepare two brief (up to one-minute) contrasting songs (one up-tempo,
   one ballad), in the style of the show (1970’s era). Songs from the show are
   acceptable.
   - Bring sheet music in the correct keys, hole-punched in a three-ring
   binder.  Singers will not be permitted to sing a cappella.
   - Bring a list of conflicts between September 11 and November 19.
   - Bring proof of Covid vaccination.
