Sweeney Todd, an unjustly exiled barber, returns to 19th century London seeking vengeance against the lecherous judge who framed him and ravaged his young wife. The road to revenge leads Todd to Mrs. Lovett, a resourceful proprietress of a failing pie shop, above which he opens a new barber practice. Mrs. Lovett's luck sharply shifts when Todd's thirst for blood inspires the integration of an ingredient into her meat pies that has the people of London lining up, and the carnage has only just begun! *Rehearsals (5 per week on weekday evenings and weekends) will commence on August 21.* *Performances (9): Fridays and Saturdays, and Sundays (Matinées), October 21 through November 6* *ROLES:** (AUDITIONING FOR ENSEMBLE ONLY)* *WE ARE LOOKING FOR A COMPANY OF 25 ENERGETIC ACTORS AND SINGERS.* - *Ensemble* (Men and Women, 20s-60s)—Many good smaller roles with good scenes and a line here and there, both dialogue and singing. - *The Ensemble may be on stage for most of the play*. *We need strong singer/actors to collaborate in creating * *an original experience of a powerful play.* *This production requires some serious singing and acting!* *And remember: This is a HORROR STORY!* For further information contact the Director (Art Suskin) at 816-210-6266 or art@theatregym.org -- Kelly Miloro GLTG Administrative Asst. 440-285-7701 officemgr@geaugatheater.org
