RETURN TO THE FORBIDDEN PLANET - Carrollwood Cultural Center Non Equity Auditions

Carrollwood Cultural Center, show director Chris Holcom, and music director Latoya McCormick-Hutchinson will hold auditions for Return to the Forbidden Planet by Bob Carlton.

Shakespeare’s forgotten rock and roll masterpiece! Inspired by The Tempest, this high-energy jukebox musical is packed with rock ‘n’ roll classics, including “Great Balls of Fire,” “Good Vibrations,” “Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood,” “Young Girl” and “Gloria.”

Blast off on a routine flight and crash into the planet D’Illyria, where a sci-fi version of The Tempest – set to rock ‘n’ roll golden oldies – unfolds with glee! The planet is inhabited by a sinister scientist, Dr. Prospero; his delightful daughter Miranda; Ariel, a faithful robot on roller skates; and an uncontrollable monster, the product of Prospero’s id, whose tentacles penetrate the space craft.

Presented through Concord Theatricals.
