Chelsea Area Players announce auditions for "Rocky Horror Picture Show"
Chelsea Area Players (CAP) will hold auditions for "The Rocky Horror Show" on September 7 in Chelsea at Beach Middle School (445 Mayer Drive) and September 8 in Ann Arbor at Bach Elementary School (600 W. Jefferson), from 6:30-9 p.m.; callbacks happen September 10 in Chelsea. Auditioners must be high school age or older, and all minors must be accompanied by a parent or guardian during the audition.
Rehearsals will be held in Chelsea, with performances scheduled Nov. 11-13 at the Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre on the University of Michigan campus.  Richard O'Brien's "The Rocky Horror Show" is a long-running British stage musical that has become an international sensation since its 1973 debut. A visual and musical camp satire of the B-movie horror and science-fiction genres, it is a rock musical, where fans dress up as the characters, shout "call-backs" at the stage, and use props at appropriate moments.  It tells the story of two clean-cut kids, Brad and Janet, who run into car trouble and end up at the castle of Dr. Frank-N-Furter and his bizarre entourage, who are having a party. No ordinary party, no ordinary night, it is the unveiling of the doctor’s latest creation: Rocky, a man-made Adonis.  Visit the Chelsea Area Players website for more information.
