Rocky Horror Show Auditions

WE’RE BACK

The antici… pation is over! Theater Arts Guild (TAG) is very excited to offer our first full-length, mainstage musical since before the pandemic! It’s been a long couple years and we have missed sharing art with our community.

Rocky Horror Show is a risqué, interactive musical comedy with a twist of horror and plenty of surprises. It follows the story of newly engaged Brad & Janet who find themselves at the castle of a mad scientist transvestite from Transsexual, Transylvania.

WHAT TO PREPARE

Music

40-60 seconds of a song of your choice
Must have accompaniment (either piano or karaoke track)
Pianist will be provided
Speaker will be provided for phone/device

There is no need to prepare a monologue or dance routine (see exceptions below). We want to see your acting skills during your song. Movement will be a group activity during the audition (get ready to soul train!).

Dance

Only those auditioning for Columbia will be asked to learn a short piece of choreography during the audition.
All others will be asked to participate in a fun soul train as a group to show movement.

Monologue

Those auditioning only for the narrator may prepare a monologue for their audition. There will be no monologues for other roles.
If the production team needs to see specific acting skills for other roles, the actor will be invited to callbacks to read scenes from the script.

Important Note

Rocky Horror is rated R and contains adult content and language. Some characters are on stage partially clothed, and some portray sexualized choreography. TAG places great importance on the safety of its participants and follows the Chicago Theatre Standards. If you have any questions about what to expect, please email TAGRocky22@gmail.com.
