Haunt Actor Auditions: A Wedding at Deadwoodville

Hopkinton Center for the Arts, together with Metrowest YMCA, is producing “The Haunt: A Wedding in Deadwoodville.”

This interactive, theatrical Haunt experience will take place outdoors in the woods of the Hopkinton YMCA in October. Building on the success of last years’ experience, this year’s event includes multiple group dance numbers and plenty of opportunities to play interesting Deadwoodville citizens!

We are seeking adults and older teenagers to audition to be part of this production. Performers will be asked to read a short scene from the script and participate in some improv exercises. The characters we are looking for range from “friends of the bride and groom”, to family members attending the wedding to the “towns people,” such as a baker, hairdresser, saloon owner, oddity shop owner and more! All characters have a back story about how they ended up in Deadwoodville.

A first round of auditions took place on Sunday June 30th at HCA (98 Hayden Rowe St, Hopkinton). The next round of auditions will take place on Sunday July 14th @ 4 pm

Actors/Dancers who are selected for this year’s production can commit to just one of the two weekends. The dates of the event are 10/18, 10/19, 10/20 & 10/25, 10/26/, 10/27. It is not necessary to do both weekends.

Acting rehearsals will take place on Sundays starting September 8th from 4pm-7pm. Not all actors will be called for each rehearsal. Dance rehearsals will take place from 6pm-8pm. A full schedule will be provided once the show is cast.
