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 treasured pieces of American musical theatre.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!

Seeking a skilled and dynamic actor/singer, with a powerhouse belt and great comic abilities. MR. MUSHNIK (Male-identifying, 50s-60s, all ethnicities) Seymour's beleaguered and often agitated boss. A brash, older New Yorker and quasi-father figure, whose desperation drives him to put profits over people. Seeking a comedic character man who sings and moves well.

SYNOPSIS Spider’s Web is a parody of the detective thriller that weaves suspense and humor as only Agatha Christie can. When Clarissa, an adventurous spinner of tales, discovers that a murder has taken place in her drawing room, she learns that the drama of real life is more complicated than she imagined. To protect her family, she enlists the help of her trusted friends to cover the crime. Hilarity ensues when they are interrupted by the wry detective, Inspector Lord. Will they crack the case before the next victim is claimed? With a unique blend of tension, humor and heart, this “who-done-it” is sure to leave audiences laughing and guessing until the very end. AVAILABLE CHARACTERS CLARISSA HAILSHAM-BROWN – a lively, spirited woman married to Henry Hailsham-Brown. Despite a fanciful imagination, her fierce love for her husband and stepdaughter grounds her and drives her through this story. Even when the stakes are high, she can leap into the role of a charming hostess in an instant. *This character is a fantastic principal role that calls for an advanced, mature high school actress who is ready to lead a company of actors.* MILDRED PEAKE – a jolly gardener who loves life, nature and (most) people. She delights in unexpected situations (whether it’s socially appropriate or not). She keeps some secrets poorly, and others very well. PIPPA HAILSHAM-BROWN – a precocious student who is just discovering her voice. She is curious, feisty, playful, and hungry. All three characters are challenging and delightful roles to play! Please feel free to email director Will Sanborn at wsanborn(a)us.edu<mailto:wsanborn@us.edu> with any questions. We hope to see you at auditions this week!
