THEATRE IN THE PARK ACADEMY CAMP - ZOMBIE PROM (6th-12th grade; ages 12-18)
Pretty High School Senior Toffee has fallen for the class bad boy. Family pressure forces her to end the romance, and he charges off on his motorcycle to the nuclear waste dump. He returns glowing and determined to reclaim Toffee's heart. He still wants to graduate, but most of all he wants to take Toffee to the prom. The principal orders him to drop dead while a scandal reporter seizes on him as the freak du jour. History comes to his rescue while a tuneful selection of original songs in the style of 50s hits keeps the action rocking across the stage.
AUDITIONS WILL BE HELD SATURDAY, SEPT. 29 from 12-5pm in Rehearsal Rooms A & B at the Johnson County Arts & Heritage Center. Auditioners should bring an mp3 track (or sing acapella), and be prepared to sing 16 bars of a song. There will also be a brief movement/dance audition, so wear appropriate footwear.
