Theater Casting Call for "How to Hide Your Zombies" Play

Kentville, NS, Canada
ID: 589016Exp: 8/1/2025
Description:

ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. Seeking boys and girls ages 8+ for production of "How to Hide Your Zombies". More details are below. About the play: Four friends, Natasha, Nanny, Ambrose, and Beatrice, live in a house in a gated community. They have some secrets: the first, that they are vegetarian Vampires in hiding from the Vamp Gang, a hungry group of blood eating Vampires. Secondly, that they are giving shelter to and are hiding some wandering Zombies. Natasha, to protect the Zombies from anyone they might meet on the outside, is determined to humanize them so they too can live in society like she and her friends do. Teaching the Zombies etiquette which includes things like not eating the maids Pheobe and Millicent’s brains, elocution lessons from Shakespeare, and kindness from Mister Rogers Neighborhood tapes, turns out to save the day for the recovering Vampires and the childlike Zombies. No biting, no blood, great message. Written by CentreStage and audience favourite Edith Weiss! Additional information: Rehearsals will be held Saturday mornings (9-12) starting August 9, and also on Wednesday evenings (6-8) starting in September. Please check your availability for rehearsals and performances before auditioning. If you're interested, please apply.
