Auditions for Autumn Musical at Backdoor Playhouse
World Premiere. Crawlspace: A True-Crime Musical Thriller
Roles are available for 17 to 24 performers. The principle role of “JOHN” has been cast. Casting is open to all interested people. Minority actors are strongly encouraged. No experience necessary. NON-SINGING ROLES ARE AVAILABLE!
Please prepare a short singing selection. Auditions will consist of cold-readings from the script.
Rehearsals will take place during the months of September and October. For further information, please contact Mark Creter at 372-3478 or mcreter@tntech.edu.
Crawlspace is based on the story of a convicted serial killer. Although inspired by his own words and the public record of his life and crimes, this is a work of historical fiction. Certain names and identifying details have been changed to protect the privacy of individuals. Fictional characters have been added, and liberties have been taken that differentiate this work from the true-life events. The musical is a theatrical re-imagining of the story and horror of the case and those who suffered in its wake.
