AUDITIONS FOR "DRACULA"

Directed by Bert Smith

Auditions will be readings from the script.  
 
There are several versions of Dracula, but we are doing Dracula the Vampire Play In Three Acts, by Tim Kelly.  
 
Cold readings are perfectly okay.  If anyone wants to look over the script prior to auditions, please email Bert Smith at ASmithPhD@aol.com  (Be sure to include "Dracula" in the email subject line.)  Or call (409) 363-1350.

No parts have been pre-cast.  
 
Acting resumes and "face shots" are welcome, but not necessary.
 
The show will be in the black box at the Betty Greenberg Center.  The script is simple, but it tells the story well.  It has many places to showcase good acting and will be a whole lot of fun.  It does not require huge amounts of memorization.  We will have quite a few special effects.
 
The show was picked to echo the current fascination with Vampires.  It is timed to be on stage the weeks surrounding Halloween.
 
If you are in Evita, rehearsal for Dracula will not conflict.
