MTG Calls for Orchestra For LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS

We are seeking musicians for the pit orchestra of our IAP production of Little Shop Of Horrors. We'll be using the small, rock-combo edition of the show.

The musical numbers are fun, and encompass a variety of rock styles such as 50s doo-wop, 70s blues/funk, 70s disco, 70s/80s ballads and 60s/70s anthems, as well as a dose of some of the typical show tune styles from the same eras--at least: to the extent that show tune styles can be realized by a 5 piece rock-combo. Accordingly, each piece is important to the overall sound of the band and the show.

Currently needed are
- ELECTRIC BASS GUITAR
- PERCUSSION -- traps as well as bongos and more
- GUITARS: ACOUSTIC & ELECTRIC -- plus effects [distort/flange]
- KEYBOARDS -- several timbres (Jazz organ, cheesy organ, Fender Rhodes E.P.'s and various orchestral sections, to name a few).

Rehearsals will be roughly
- 2x per week: Jan 3 to Jan 24 (Sun afternoon + weeknight TBD)
- every night (except probably Tue): Jan 25 to Jan 28

Show performances will be
- evenings: Jan 29, 30 and Feb 4, 5 and 6, and
- matinee: Jan 31

Auditions/interviews are by appointment. Please contact us at little-music@mit.edu if you are interested.
