Singing Audition for "Something Rotten" Play

Now casting: Singing auditions for the play "Something Rotten." See full details below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. About the project: Welcome to the Renaissance and the outrageous, crowd-pleasing musical farce, Something Rotten. Set in the 1590s, brothers Nick and Nigel Bottom are desperate to write a hit play but are stuck in the shadow of that Renaissance rock star known as “The Bard.” When a local soothsayer foretells that the future of theatre involves singing, dancing, and acting at the same time, Nick and Nigel set out to write the world’s very first musical. But amidst the scandalous excitement of opening night, the Bottom Brothers realize that reaching the top means being true to thine own self…and all that jazz. Please note that this show contains kissing, sexual innuendo, some swearing, and a dangerous amount of iambic pentameter. Consider it PG-13.
