at the HPCT rehearsal space at the Enterprise Center, 305 North Main Street, Suite 322. Parking and entrance is in the rear of the building off of English Street.

Those auditioning should prepare a short audition piece and bring sheet music in the proper key. An accompanist will be provided.

LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS will be directed by Bobby Bodford with musical direction by Michael Dougherty and choreography by Mallory Graham. Production dates are May 15 – 18, 2008 at the High Point Theatre.

*The pre-audition workshop is not mandatory but it is a good chance to run through your audition selection with the accompanist and to find out information about the rehearsal and production schedule and process.

A down-and out skid row floral assistant becomes an overnight sensation when he discovers an exotic plant with a mysterious craving for fresh blood. Soon “Audrey II” grows into an ill-tempered, foul-mouthed, R&B-singing carnivore who offers him fame and fortune in exchange for feeding its growing appetite, finally revealing itself to be an alien creature poised for global domination!

One of the longest-running Off-Broadway shows of all time, this affectionate spoof of 1950s sci-fi movies has become a house-hold name, thanks to a highly successful film version and a score by the songwriting team of Howard Ashman and Alan Menken, who redefined the animated musical film with Disney’s “The Little Mermaid”, “Beauty And The Beast” and “Aladdin.” Charming, tuneful and hilarious, with tongue firmly planted in cheek, LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS never fails to entertain.

Casting will be done for the roles of:

Florist’s Clerks, Seymour and Audrey
Their Boss, Mr. Mushnik
The Evil Dentist, Orin
The Plant, Audrey II – Puppeteer and Voice
Crystal, Ronnette and Chiffon – The “Greek Chorus”
