To sign up for auditions, email director Steve Noll (sdnoll@yahoo.com) with "Rocky Horror Audition" in subject line and then which day you are attending.

Auditions both days start at 1pm sharp. You will be taught choreo as group first, and then you will sing. So expect to be there as late as 4pm.

Show opens Friday, February 12, 2016 for a 3-week run on the Drury stage of the Bartell Theatre in Madison.

Rehearsals will start in December with a break over the holidays.

Actors are asked to prepare a song (about 1 minute section) NOT from Rocky Horror. Bring your own music; a piano accompanist will be provided. Again, nothing from Rocky Horror. Please note: we are NOT doing the movie on the stage. This will be an original production based on the stage version, not the movie. Auditioning in the style of Tim Curry will not get you cast.

In addition to singing at auditions, everyone will be taught a choreo number to show your dancing skills. Please dress to dance and bring water.
