Open Auditions today! Awesome 80's Prom at David Saxe Productions!


OPEN AUDITIONS for THE AWESOME 80s PROM in Las Vegas

Today at 6:00pm until June 19 at 9:00pm
Sirc Michaels Productions is pleased to be holding OPEN AUDITIONS for the Off-Broadway hit, THE AWESOME 80s PROM, which will be coming to the Las Vegas Strip this July!

WHERE YOU NEED TO BE:
David Saxe Productions
920 S. Commerce Street
Las Vegas NV 89106

WHEN YOU NEED TO BE THERE:
Monday 6/18 from 6-10pm
Tuesday 6/19 from 5-9pm
No appointments are necessary. Just stop by.

WHAT YOU NEED TO PREPARE:
Please prepare a brief contemporary comic monologue. If you do not have one, you may choose to read from sides that will be provided.

WHO WE NEED:
Men and Women of various ages (Prefer over 18+, though younger people may be considered)
Experience with interactive, improvisational performance is a plus but is NOT a requirement!

The show is being directed by Ken Davenport, the creator of the show. Performers are paid per performance.

We are looking for performers who want to have fun. The setting is a High School Prom in 1989, and all of the characters one would anticipate seeing from a John Hughes film are in it! So dust off your Reeboks, slip on a Members Only Jacket, practice your Moonwalk, and come on down!

This is an audience-interactive show. Some parts require specific looks or abilities, but there's something for just about everyone.

•           Blake – The Captain of the Football Team. A Charming, egotistical jock. Think “Jake” in 16 Candles.
•           Louis – The Nerd. Introverted, computer geek. Think Michael Hall in 16 Candles.
•           Fender – The Bad Boy. Mean, defensive, loud. Think Judd Nelson in The Breakfast Club.
•           Michael Jay – The Class President. A young Republican/born politician. A Guy-Smiley game show host type. Think Michael J. Fox on Family Ties.
•           Feung – The Asian Exchange Student. Charismatic, speaks little English. Think Long Duk Dong in 16 Candles.
•           Dickie The Drama Queen. Flamboyant, fabulous and bitter. Sings “Don’t Rain on My Parade” like Barbara Streisand. Think Ducky in Pretty in Pink mixed with Jack from Will & Grace.
•           Beef – A football player. Big and intimidating, but not too bright. Think Chris Farley
•           Mr. Snelgrove – The Principal. A fascist dictator. Think the principal in Ferris Bueller’s Day Off.
•           The Heathers – Cheerleader #1 and #2. Whitley’s back up cheerleaders. Must cheer/dance. ALL DANCERS WITHOUT ACTING EXPERIENCE BUT FUN PERSONALITIES ARE STRONGLY ENCOURAGED TO AUDITION.
•           Kerrie – The Spaz. Petite. A sweet but hyper nerd. In love with Blake. Surprisingly cute, once she removes the glasses and headgear.
•           Missy – The Head of the Prom Committee. Perfect. Way too perky. Think Reese Witherspoon in Election.
•           Whitley – The Head Cheerleader. Attractive, sexy, bitchy, and vain. Thinking “Heathers.” Must cheer and dance. ALL DANCERS WITHOUT ACTING EXPERIENCE BUT FUN PERSONALITIES ARE STRONGLY ENCOURAGED TO AUDITION.
•           DJ Johnny Hughes – The DJ. Extremely charismatic host who can warm up a crowd. Runs dance contest, etc. Stand-up comedians, karaoke hosts, etc. all encouraged to audition. Must have high energy and an infectious energy that can keep a party going.
•           Inga – The Swedish Exchange Student. Tall and voluptuous. Speaks with a heavy accent.
•           Mrs. Lascalzo – The Drama Teacher. A leftover hippie who loves everyone. A little clueless.
•           Molly Parker – A freshman. A member of the Freshman Cheerleading Squad and the yearbook committee.
•           Lloyd Parker – Her twin (less cool) brother.
•           Mystery Guest - A 1980’s celebrity impersonator (i.e. Madonna, Michael Jackson, MC Hammer, Prince). Performs (or lip syncs) one song at the height of the PROM.

Please prepare a brief contemporary comic monologue. If you do not have one, you may choose to read from sides that will be provided.

We will not be accepting video submissions. Auditions are open, meaning first come first serve, not by appointment.
