Pocket Sandwich Theatre To Hold Auditions For “Death The Musical II – Death Takes A Harmony” On June 15

There’s a serial killer on the loose and no one in the trailer park is safe. Just who is this Charles Darwin, and what does he have against rednecks?

To be directed by Scott A Eckert, auditions will be held on Wednesday, June 15th from 6-10 p.m. The auditions will be held at the theatre, 5400 E. Mockingbird Lane, Suite 119, in Mockingbird Central Plaza, one block east of Central Expressway, across from Mockingbird Station DART Rail Center.

Auditions will be cold readings from the script.

*Auditioners should prepare a country or southern rock song. (Think Big River or Nine to Five) If you play an instrument (guitar, bass, fiddle, harmonica, hurdy-gurdy), bring that along. We’ve got a band, but the more the merrier! Rehearsals will begin on July 25th. Actors are paid a stipend (theater talk for not very much, but you’ll have the time of your life!) The show will open on August 26th and will run through September 24th, with shows Thursday through Sunday evenings.
