ABOUT THE SHOW:

In this cult classic, sweethearts Brad and Janet, stuck with a flat tire during a storm, discover the eerie mansion of Dr. Frank-N-Furter. As their innocence is lost, Brad and Janet meet a houseful of wild characters, including a rocking biker and a creepy butler. Through elaborate dances and rock songs, Frank-N-Furter unveils his latest creation: a muscular man named “Rocky.”

That “Sweet Transvestite” and his motley crew did the “Time Warp” on Broadway in a 25th anniversary revival. Complete with sass from the audience, cascading toilet paper, and an array of other audience participation props, this deliberately kitschy rock ’n’ roll sci-fi gothic musical is more fun than ever.

Marjorie Prime Video Auditions

  • Birmingham Festival Theatre (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

AUDITION NOTICE: Currently accepting video auditions for 2 roles in BFTs upcoming Marjorie Prime, directed by Jonathan Sweatt.

The Roles:

Walter - Male, age 30. Marjorie’s companion.

Jon - Male, age 50. Marjorie’s son-in-law.

The Story: It’s the age of artificial intelligence, and 85-year-old Marjorie — a jumble of disparate, fading memories — has a handsome new companion who’s programmed to feed the story of her life back to her. What would we remember, and what would we forget, if given the chance? In this richly spare, wondrous new play, Jordan Harrison explores the mysteries of human identity and the limits — if any — of what technology can replace.

Please submit a resume and a video of you performing a 1-minute monologue of your choosing to sweatt.audition@gmail.com. A video shot with your phone is just fine. DEADLINE - Please submit no later than Sunday, February 18 at 10pm.

Rehearsals will begin mid-March. Performance dates run 4/19 through 5/5.

Please note that all other roles have been filled.
