PORT ANGELES — If you’ve ever pictured yourself in “The Rocky Horror Show,” that cult musical-comedy classic about a mad scientist who builds a blond creature named Rocky Horror, your chance is coming this Monday and Tuesday night.
Auditions for the Peninsula College-Port Angeles Light Opera fall production of “The Rocky Horror Show” will be open from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. both evenings in the Little Theater on the Peninsula College campus at 1502 E. Lauridsen Blvd.
Callbacks will be held Wednesday from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m.
Then comes the rigorous rehearsal schedule: Monday through Thursday afternoons and evenings starting Sept. 20.
The show will take the stage at Peninsula College Nov. 11, 12 and 13, with just four performances.
Because of “Rocky Horror’s” adult content, no one under the age of 18 will be permitted to audition.
Cold readings will be available, but prepared monologues are welcome; performers should arrive in comfortable clothing and be ready to move, as there will also be an impromptu dancing and singing audition.
Actors are also encouraged to bring a rock song to sing a capella, “something that showcases their style and can be goosed up with growls, purrs and other improvisational flourishes,” said production designer Richard Stephens.
The cast of this show needs to “exude a certain degree of sensuality and the courage to vamp, strut and have a commanding presence on stage.”
“Rocky Horror” will call on its performers to make “a great commitment of time, to learn the music, the choreography and the blocking,” Stephens added.
“Participation in this show must be a central priority to every cast member.”
Peninsula College drama professor Lara Starcevich, the director of the production, can be reached via e-mail at laras@pencol.edu.
