When a century-old spell is broken, unspeakable evil is unleashed once more as the Voodoo Queen Marie Leveau returns to exact her revenge on all those who wrongfully spilled her blood. While investigating these mysterious murders, we embark on a terrifying journey following Detective Bordeaux deep into the bayou of Louisiana, where arcane voodoo rituals, demons and specters dwell. Fear rules the night – and no one is safe from their bloodlust. Concluding in a battle so epic it shatters the very boundary between Heaven and Hell, and the Dead Rise Again ... told through the use of cutting edge special effects, designs and illusion, the play provides as much awe-inspiring entertainment value as it does fright. Director states, “Utilizing my new performance style known as Extra Sensory Production, the audience will not only be able to hear and see the production but they will also smell and feel the excitement, danger and fear.” Will the powers of good be able to conquer this ultimate evil before the time runs out for us all?

Seeking:

Producer’s casting notes: “[Seeking] Performers with a STRONG THEATRICALITY. Males and females with distinctive voices. Ability to play strange, crazed, or witch-like characters. THIS IS NOT A CHILDREN'S PRODUCTION. Need true HORROR actors. Very expressive. All ages, physical types, and ethnicities are encouraged to apply!”

Madame Leveau:

Appears 60s. Dead. Soul-stealing voodoo priestess.

Roland Grimaldi / Priest:

Mid 20s. Husband. He is not what he seems.

Kaitlin Grimaldi / Mother:

Mid 20s. Roland‘s wife. Sarcastic, fun. Great screamer.

Detective Bordeaux / Villager 1:

Early 30s. Cop. Bad- (smart-) ass. Rough past. Has a vengeance.

Catcher Thorne / Villager:

50s. Owner of a funeral home. Many secrets.

Rose Thorne / Gypsy / Villager:

50s. Crazy. Violent. Can see the dead.

Nancy McDermott / Villager:

30s-60s. Nurse. Takes care of Rose.

The producer states (but Equity cannot confirm), “This is a Pre-Broadway Showcase. Actors cast in this production will have the opportunity to transfer to the Production Contract. Anticipated Broadway Opening Spring 2012.”
