AUDITIONS: A Wedding in Deadwoodville (Haunt 2024)

Nestled deep in the Hopkinton woods, Deadwoodville has been home to the living dead since 1715. Notorious for its grotesque and peculiar citizens, Deadwoodville opens its gates once a year, revealing itself for a fortnight of tours.

This season, we invite you to experience a Deadwoodville wedding. You’ll be captivated as we guide you through our town and participate in the forbidden love between two worlds – the Mortal and the Living Dead. We’re seeking enthusiastic teen and adult actors to audition for select roles.

Auditioners should prepare a two-minute monologue from any piece that shows range or is similar to the character for which they are auditioning.

Performance Times:

Actors need to be available for mini-performances for TBD date in September and for the Haunt performances October 18-20 and October 25-27.

Available Roles:

This year’s storyline is centered around forbidden love between Kitty, a Living Dead resident of Deadwoodville, and Carl, a Mortal. More than sparks fly when Chop, Kitty’s father, learns of their plans and vows revenge on Carl. Join us for an evening tour of the town, where residents prepare for the wedding, complete with musical numbers, oddities, and scares.
