We’re casting for our cross-country summer tour of:
Cthulhu: The Musical!
This is a paid performance opportunity.
We’re casting for just ONE role in this show, who will play two different characters.
SHOW DESCRIPTION:
Detective John Lagrasse is searching for a murderer. Francine Thurston’s uncle vanished without a trace. The only clue to both mysteries is a bizarre statue worshiped by a nightmarish cult. And it’s leading both of them out to sea, towards a mysterious island they see in their nightmares— and towards insanity.
But, you know, with singing puppets.
The show is what, in a sensible universe, would be impossible: a feature-length musical comedy adaptation of one of the least musical or comedic stories ever — HP Lovecraft’s cosmic horror classic, The Call of Cthulhu— written to be performed entirely with puppets.
CHARACTER DESCRIPTIONS:
Jenkins: Anarchist goofball. Mischievous sidekick. Sailor-stereotype who speaks with a pirate-y accent.
George Angell: Freud, except he’s the one that wants to schtup your mom.
