Auditions for Triassic Parq, the Musical

The Funhouse Lounge is excited to announce its upcoming show, “Triassic Parq the Musical”. This is an irreverent, edgy stage musical version of the film “Jurassic Park”, but told from the dinosaurs’ point of view. Having been created all females so as not to reproduce, they celebrate their shared female-ness. Until one day, when their world gets thrown into chaos as “life finds a way”, and one of them spontaneously transitions. It deals with themes of sex, religion and gender identity. And has a bunch of great songs.

Show dates are Thursdays thru Saturdays, May 23rd to June 14th at 7pm. There will also be a Sunday matinee in the mix. Rehearsals will begin April 20th. 

Roles include:

Velociraptor of Innocence (male, tenor)
Velociraptor of Faith (male, baritone)
Velociraptor of Science (female, alto)
T-Rex #1 (female, mezzo)
T-Rex #2 (female, soprano)
Mime-a-saurus (male/ female, alto/tenor)
Chorus-asaurus (male or female, range varies) (may be more than 1)

In order to audition, you should have some musical theater experience.

Prepare a monologue (app 1 minute), and 32 bars of a song. Bring sheet music.

Auditions will be held Sunday, March 31st, from 1 to 4pm. Callbacks will be the following night, Monday, April 1st.

Not Another Christmas Letter

NOT ANOTHER CHRISTMAS LETTER! is an original musical comedy unfolding in a series of comic and poignant vignettes with four actors bringing 46 characters to life celebrating everything that drives us crazy about Christmas . . . and why we love it anyway.

(Funhouse Lounge show dates:  December 8 & 15 @ 2:00pm)

Think of I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change . . . for the holidays. From receiving that first obnoxious Christmas letter to taking the family picture, from dealing with in-laws, to facing unassembled gifts on Christmas Eve, Not Another Christmas Letter: The Musical! shows why sometimes we want to sing “Wreck the halls!” and then why we’re wistful when Christmas is over.

“It is absolutely true that CHRISTMAS LETTERS took our new theatre company to a new level. With its highly witty, engaging script and score, the show is a non-stop journey full of laughter and touching moments — the best of both worlds! We heard from several members of our sold-out house who said they couldn’t wait to see it again. It’s clear that audiences crave new classics to add to their favorite holiday shows…it’s just the ticket!”– Angela Shultz & Melissa Harlow Stomping Ground Theatre Co New York

Not Another Christmas Letter: The Musical Features:

Jeff Donaldson-Forbes

Bronwyn Baz

Chris Bartell

Carissa Zubricky

The show includes a 15 minute intermission and concessions will be available for purchase.

Tickets:
General admission $20
Seniors $16
