The Rocky Horror Show Audition Reminder


                                                                                           

 

Kaimuki High School Performing Arts Center

Announces Auditions for

The rocky horror show

 

Kaimuki High School Performing Arts Center presents their spring musical production of “the rocky horror show” from February 21 – March 9, 2014.  Students enrolled at any public or charter school on Oahu are encouraged to audition.  This audition is open to students from grade 7 to grade 12. Play Production credit is available to qualifying students.

Auditions will be held December 11 and 12 from 3:00 to 6:30 p.m. at KHSPAC’s auditorium.  Callbacks only on December 13, from 2:30-6 p.m.

 KHSPAC is looking for committed young actors, singers, and dancers for the cast of The Rocky Horror Show.

The Rocky Horror Show, with music, lyrics, and book by Richard O’Brien, is a story of self discovery and being true to your own nature.  It is also a humorous tribute to the science fiction B movies of the 1950s.  The musical tells the story of newly engaged couple, Brad Majors and Janet Weiss, who take shelter from a storm in an old castle – which happens to be inhabited by mad-scientist-alien, Dr. Frank N. Furter, who is about to unveil his newest creation, “Rocky”.

The musical, originally produced and directed by Jim Sharman, premiered in London, at the Royal Court Theatre (Upstairs) in June of 1973, moved on to several other locations, and closed in September of 1980.  It ran for a total of 2,960 performances, and won the 1973 Evening Standard Award for Best Musical.  Its 1974 debut in the US in Los Angeles had a successful 9 month run.

The play was adapted into a film, and released in 1975 as The Rocky Horror Picture Show. The film is the longest-running release in film history; it has never been pulled from rotation of its original release, and continues to play in cinemas all over the world.  The film, as well as the play, has become the very definition of a cult classic. 

Rehearsals at KHSPAC begin with a read-through of the play on Wednesday December 18, 2013.  All actors are required to attend the read-through.  We will take a holiday break from December 23  -January 3rd resuming rehearsals on Saturday, January 4th.

Monday-Friday rehearsals 3:30pm to 6:30pm; Saturday rehearsals 10:00am to 4:00pm (TBD.) Performances run from February 21 – March 9. Please bring conflict information for December 17 – March 9 to the auditions.

Violet

February 24th and March 3th and 10th – 3:00 pm

 

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        
 

Kaimuki High School Performing Arts Center loyal fans likely remember our past performances of Pirates of      Penzance, Little Shop of  Horrors and Grease, which  was our most recent and successful production to date.  This year we celebrate 26 years on the stage by presenting the Hawaii premier of Violet!  Violet Karl of Spruce Pine, NC is about to embark on a odyssey to visit a Preacher she has seen on TV, hoping that he can heal the disfiguring facial scar she’s had since adolescence.  As she travels through the Deep South of 1964, she meets two soldiers who may be called to fight in Viet Nam, who fall in love with her, and discovers that even though the scar cannot be healed, she can still heal her soul.

 

Dramatic issues addressed in this show include: whether beauty is physical or internal; what it is to grow up in a place where, because of a physical disfigurement, you are considered bad; racial issues in the Civil-Rights Era South and military, as one of the soldiers is White and the other Black.

 

Based on the short story "The Ugliest Pilgrim" by Doris Betts, this Wizard of Oz-style quest story features music by   Jeanine Tesori, composer of "Caroline, or Change" and "Thoroughly Modern Millie" and won the 1997 New York Drama critics Circle Award for Best Musical, the Lucille Lortel Award for Outstanding Musical, and the Obie Award Special Citation for Jeanine Tesori's music.
