Talent Wanted for "Devils in the Details: Rock Musical"
The company is holding auditions for "Devils in the Details: Rock Musical" and looking for performers, please see the details below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE CONSIDERED. About the project: In the summer of 1989, when the Satanic Panic has finally begun to taper off, televangelist Pastor Wilson is invited on air by a man named Eli to tour the country with the band he manages: a heavy rock sister duo, My Pal Satan. After reluctantly agreeing once Wilson's producer encourages him to do it for ratings, and a rocky welcome into the world of rock n' roll by the band's spitfire guitarist/singer Kati Keeve, Wilson begins to realize that the Satanic sibling act is nothing more than just...an act. With no deviants to save, and his worldview of who's evil permanently skewed, does Wilson have an audience when he returns back from the tour? And who is the woman following him from city to city, dying to talk to him? Told over the course of one summer, with head-banging music, "Devils in the Details" is an epic look at the role of religion, fatherhood, and a little perspective. When applying, please include your acting resume and headshot along with a video audition of any rock/pop song from the 80's and 90's and a monologue of your choosing.
