Casting call for "Batboy" the musical. Seeking actors. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE CONSIDERED. See more info below. About the project: "After a mysterious... human is discovered by some local teenagers, the local sheriff brings Bat Boy to the home of the town veterinarian, Dr. Parker, where he is eventually accepted as a member of the family and taught to act like a “normal” boy by the veterinarian’s wife, Meredith, and teenage daughter, Shelley. Bat Boy is happy with his new life, but when he naively tries to fit in with the narrow-minded people of Hope Falls, they turn on him, prodded by the machinations of Dr. Parker, who secretly despises Bat Boy. Soon the entire town arrives and hears the shocking story of Bat Boy’s unholy origin." Additional info: Ages provided are character ages. Please bring 16-32 measures of at least one song.
