Curses of the Pharoah
- Last Updated on Tuesday, 02 October 2012 12:29
The height of the 1920's saw big business, bootlegging, Egyptian artifacts craze, flappers and jazz! This show runs just October every Friday and Saturday. We sold out last year and had a great run!
We pay 3% of the house profits per actor. Rehearsals are based around actors schedules.
Premise: It is a museum gala as the 5th and final piece of an ancient Egyptian artifact has found its way to its brothers but as soon as the pieces have come together they cause the ancient curse to be activated. (One curse involves barbershop singing and another one gets to have ALOT of fun with wordplay.) All the characters get cursed as do some of the guests as well. One of the characters is secretly a cult member charged with protecting the artifact and one is hungry for power for whomever unites and controls the artifact will get their hearts desire.
Character Descriptions:
Minnesota Minnie - Female Archeologist
Minnesota Mickey - Minnie gets turned into him because of a curse

Please bring 16 bars of recorded ACCOMPANIMENT! We will be providing cold reading sides. Also, please don't be scared off thinking that you won't be able to do the audience interaction. We are excellent at preparing you for that and it is a great way to improve your acting for future projects.
Also, we have posted a song for everyone to learn. We will be having everyone sight read it (and not so much sight read it if you download and learn it before you come.)
If you can't make the audition time, please email me and we will arrange another time.
NO PARTS have been precast.
