*AUDITION NOTICE: Killer Competition – New Musical* *A Christina Worcester Production* Produced in partnership with *The Arts Inclusion Incubator at the Akron Civic Theatre* Actors are invited to audition for *Killer Competition*, a darkly comedic new musical by Christina Worchester being produced this summer in *Wild Oscar’s*, the intimate theatre space at the Akron Civic Theatre. *About the Show* *Some people will do anything to win…* *Killer Competition* takes place behind the scenes of a televised singing competition called *The Summit*. Ten hopeful contestants arrive believing they’re about to compete for a life-changing prize: $500,000, a record deal, and instant fame. But when one contestant is found dead in their hotel room, the competition takes a deadly turn. With the show forced to continue filming, the remaining singers must navigate rivalries, friendships, budding romance, and growing paranoia as suspicion begins to fall on everyone. Is it an accident… or is someone literally *killing the competition*? Blending musical theatre, satire, and murder mystery, *Killer Competition* explores ambition, fame, and just how far people will go when the spotlight is on the line. ------------------------------ *Auditions* 📍 Wild Oscar’s – Akron Civic Theatre 📅 *Sunday, March 22* ⏰ *12:00–3:00 PM* Audition slots are *5 minutes* *Preparation* • Prepare *1 minute of a musical theatre or pop song* • Perform *one of four cuts from the show* (available in the audition form) • *No dance call required* • *No callbacks* *Eligibility* Performers must be *18+ as of May 17* *Rehearsals* Sundays – May 17 through June 21 Tech – June 21–24 *Performances* June 25–27 Wild Oscar’s at the Akron Civic Theatre *Casting Notes* The roles of *Lizzie Meeks* and *Raeanne Cooper* have already been cast.
