Presents Auditions for

Frankenstein Slept Here

Directed by Victoria Sayeg

Open to performers Age 7-14*

What can you do when the landlord comes to visit the dilapidated castle that has become a sanctuary to the likes of the Mummy, Vampira, the Phantom Bride, and the Invisible Man? Have them pose as servants, of course! Hilarity ensues as all your Halloween favorites try to play host in order to save their home.

CHARACTER DESCRIPTIONS

• Baroness Frankenstein: descendant of the famous Dr. Frankenstein; witty and smart, brains of the operation, stops at nothing to carry on the Frankenstein name.
• Igor: Baroness’ dumb and loveable assistant, has a very unique walk
• The Monster: is under a sheet almost the whole time but is a staple to the show’s comedy; flails and sits up throughout; has the very last line of the show.
• The Phantom Bride: light and wispy, comically depressed, dry
• Jacqueline Hyde: alternates between saccharin sweet and dreadfully wicked
• Medusa: Snakes in hair, often bickering with others, doubles as a hotel maid
• Vampira: Proper and elegant diva with attitude, doubles as hotel housekeeper, sometimes with Swedish accent; often at Medusa’s throat (no pun intended)
• Hanna Hoople: Owner of hotel, ritzy, suspicious of hotel shenanigans; sometimes very, very afraid; falls in love easily with bearded and hairy men…
• The Mummy: is so over being bandaged.
• Pauline: Mrs. Hoople’s niece; room for creativity with personality
• Ted: Pauline’s husband; room for creativity with personality
• The Werewolf: … is bearded and hairy. Moves well and is highly expressive with face and body; he has the worst reputation at the hotel but is a pretty decent guy. Maybe.
• And THE INVISIBLE MAN
