Theater auditions slated Aug. 26-27
North Central Texas College Drama sceduled auditions for the Broadway Cult Classic, “Be More Chill,” at 6:30 p.m. on Aug. 26 and 27.
This will be NCTC drama’s first musical at the Denton’s Black Box Performing Arts Center at 318 E Hickory St., Denton.
“Be More Chill” is about your atypical love triangle – between a guy, a girl, and the supercomputer inside the guy’s head. The guy is desperate to fit in, the girl’s dream is to stand out, and the supercomputer just wants to take over the world.
The New Yorker raves, “If you fed Dear Evan Hansen to the Little Shop of Horrors plant, you would get Be More Chill.” With a Tony Award®-nominated score bursting with addictively catchy earworms.
Auditions are open to all current students, and to community members ages 16 and up. They are looking for seven men, and six women.
Everyone who auditions will be given everything at the audition, and no preparations will be necessary. There will be an acting, singing, and movement section for the auditions.
The production dates are Oct. 4-6 and Oct. 11-13 at 7:30 p.m.
So, come and join us for “Be More Chill” a mind-bendingly fun hit about the competing voices in all of our heads. The show contains adult language.
