THE STORY: Grandson of the infamous Victor Frankenstein, Frederick Frankenstein (pronounced "Fronk-en-steen") inherits his family's estate in Transylvania. With the help of a hunchbacked side-kick, Igor (pronounced "Eye-gore"), and a leggy lab assistant, Inga
(pronounced normally), Frederick finds himself in the mad scientist shoes of his ancestors. "It's alive!" he exclaims as he brings to life a creature to rival his grandfather's. Eventually, of course, the monster escapes and hilarity continuously abounds. Based on the 1974 classic Mel Brooks motion picture, your favorite lines, characters and moments are brought to life as a new Mel Brooks' Broadway musical with such favorites as Roll in Ze Hay, He Vas My Boyfriend, Transylvania Mania or the show-stopping Puttin' on the Ritz.

AUDITIONS!
THE ELEPHANT MAN
By Bernard Pomerance
Directed by Mark Hamilton
Stage Management by Diane Bulan
Choreography & Movement by Meghann Deveroux
OPEN CALL AUDITIONS:
Saturday, March 26, 2016 1pm – 4pm
Sunday, March 28, 2016 6pm – 10pm
At St. Pius School
55th and Woodson, Mission, KS.
SYNOPSIS:
The Elephant Man is based on the life of John Merrick
who lived in London during the latter part of the
nineteenth century. A horribly deformed young man and
victim of a rare skin and bone disease, he has become
the star freak attraction in traveling side shows. He is
found abandoned and helpless and is admitted to
London's prestigious Whitechapel hospital. Under the
care of celebrated young physician Frederick Treves,
Merrick is introduced to London society and slowly
evolves from an object of pity to an urbane and witty
favorite of the aristocracy and literati only to be denied
his ultimate dream, to become a man like any other.
EXPECTATION and PREPARATION:
We anticipate 4-5 weeks of evening rehearsals plus one
week of technical rehearsal for this production. (Due to
the fact that the 4th of July holiday occurs during our
first week of scheduled rehearsal we may possibly start
rehearsals as early as June 27 to allow for holiday
conflicts.)
Performers should arrive at the first rehearsal with a very
clear understanding of the dialogue, their roles, and a
head start on memorization of lines.
Needed – diverse cast of at least 6 men and 3 women.
The actors playing Treves and Merrick will only play
those parts. All other actors will play multiple roles. All
ethnicities are welcomed to audition, the Barn Players
embraces diversity in all aspects of our organization,
non-traditional and equal-opportunity casting is
encouraged. BRITISH ACCENTS ARE REQUIRED.
