Casting Teen Performers for "Heathers" in OH
Looking to cast teenage performers for a theatre production of "Heathers." Please see the details below. ONLY WV, KY, AND LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. About the project: Heathers is a 1989 American teen black comedy film written by Daniel Waters and directed by Michael Lehmann, in both of their respective film debuts. The film stars Winona Ryder, Christian Slater, Shannen Doherty, Lisanne Falk, Kim Walker, and Penelope Milford. Its plot portrays four teenage girls—three of whom are named Heather—in a clique at an Ohio high school, one of whose lives is disrupted by the arrival of a misanthrope intent on murdering the popular students and staging their deaths as suicides. Waters wrote Heathers as a spec script and originally wanted Stanley Kubrick to direct the film, out of admiration for Kubrick's own black comedy film Dr. Strangelove. Waters intended the film to contrast the optimistic teen movies of the era, particularly those written by John Hughes, by presenting a cynical depiction of high school imbued with dark satire. Additional info: Auditions Location: Raceland, KY. Note: Performers ages 16-17 with parent permission due to the subject matter of this show! Rehearsals begin April 16th.
