Job Description:
Black Youth Actor needed - Little Shop of HorrorsBallyhoo
Theatre Ballyhoo Theatre educational program is looking for a Black
youth actor, ages 13-21, (any gender) for our production of Little
Shop of Horrors. The role is Trio and Understudy for Audrey II.
Needs to be strong with harmonies. Rehearsals are in the late
afternoon/evening and sometimes on Saturdays, starting March 25.
Shows are May 5-14. The actor we cast needed to step out,
unfortunately. We will offer a FULL SCHOLARSHIP and, if needed, a
travel stipend for transportation back and forth to Edmonds. ***The
meek floral assistant Seymour Krelborn stumbles across a new breed
of plant he names "Audrey II" - after his coworker crush. This
scary carnivore promises unending fame and fortune to the down and
out Krelborn - as long as he keeps feeding it BLOOD. Over time,
though, Seymour discovers Audrey II's out of this world origins and
intent towards global domination! One of the longest-running
Off-Broadway shows, Little Shop Of Horrors, by Howard Ashman and
Alan Menken (Disney's The Little Mermaid, Beauty And The Beast, and
Aladdin), is one of the most popular musicals of all time.***This
will be performed by students ages 14-21. Performances will be held
at the Pheonix Theatre, May 5-14, 2023. Rehearsals start March 25
and will be 3-5 days a week, late afternoon/early evenings and some
Saturdays.***This is tuition based, educational theatre. Tuition is
$350.00. No one will be kept from being cast because of their
inability to pay tuition. Partial and full scholarships are
available.***Ages 14-21 (younger/older with permission). Acceptance
is by audition only. ALL ROLES ARE OPEN TO ALL GENDERS. Little Shop
is rated PG13.***Rehearsals will be (primarily) at Edmonds Center
for the Arts. Tech/performance venue is The Phoenix Theatre in
Edmonds.***Ballyhoo strives to create a casting process that is
welcoming and serves those auditioning as well as the creative team
in the full exploration of the material. All body types, races,
ethnicities, and abilities are desired for any available role.
Ballyhoo recognizes that most characters are written as binary
(using he/him or she/her pronouns) and we invited GNC, genderqueer,
transgender, and nonbinary actors to submit for the roles with
which they identify. ALL ROLES IN LITTLE SHOP ARE OPEN TO ALL
GENDERS!***All rehearsals and performance will be in person. We
will be following all Covid-19 State safety guidelines, and will
update them as needed during the process. The safety of our
students, creative staff, crew and audiences are paramount.***At
Ballyhoo Theatre our focus is education and inclusion. We celebrate
people of every gender, sexual orientation, race, ethnicity, and
ability. We strive, always, to address and maintain a space that
works towards anti-racism and DEI (diversity, equity and inclusion)
and acknowledges when we fall short. We work to create a safe and
inclusive space for young performers to be seen and joyously
accepted, and to explore, learn and thrive.***Please email with any
