Ritz Theater Auditions for Young Frankenstein

  • When: Thursday, August 8, 2024,  6:00 pm
  • Location: 201 S. Magnolia, Sanford, FL 32771

The Ritz Theater at Wayne Densch Performing Arts Center is holding open auditions for Young Frankenstein by Mel Brooks and Thomas Meehan

The production is directed by Jenny Congiardo and Jamy Dinkins, with music direction by Julia Hood, choreography by Amber Nadelkov, and technical direction by Jam Atkins.

From the creators of the record-breaking Broadway sensation, The Producers, comes this monster musical comedy. The comedy genius, Mel Brooks, adapts his legendarily funny film into a brilliant stage creation – Young Frankenstein!

Grandson of the infamous Victor Frankenstein, Frederick Frankenstein (pronounced “Fronk-en-steen”) inherits his family’s estate in Transylvania. With the help of a hunchbacked sidekick, Igor (pronounced “Eye-gore”), and a flirtatious lab assistant, Inga (pronounced normally), Frederick finds himself in the mad scientist shoes of his ancestors. “It’s alive!” he exclaims as he brings to life a creature to rival his grandfather’s. Eventually, of course, the monster escapes and hilarity continuously abounds.

Audition dates: Wednesday, August 7, 2024 and Thursday, August 8, 2024 from 6 PM to 10 PM.

Audition requirements: Please prepare up to 32 bars of a comedic or uptempo song that showcases your acting ability. Please bring sheet music if you have it, as well as an accompaniment track (please bring the track on a cell phone or laptop). An accompanist will be available on Wednesday only, and we welcome auditions with tracks either day. We will also be learning a short dance combination in dance shoes or sneakers, so wear comfortable clothes. There is no required monologue, but a short joke is always welcome!
