Dr. S. Battles the Sex-Crazed Reefer Zombies: The Movie: The Musical A New, Original Horror Comedy Musical. Written by Evan Boston and James Hartz
The Overtime Theater
Date: August 1, 2010 at 3:00pm
This fall the Overtime Theater will proudly present a brand-new musical based on the award-winning hit local film, Dr. S Battles the Sex Crazed Reefer Zombies. The film-turned-musical tells the story of Mary Jane, an all-American sweetheart who goes parking with her boyfriend, Billy. When he smokes some atomic reefer and transforms into a sex-crazed zombie, it's up to our hero, Dr S, to save the day! Dr S and Mary Jane battle their way back into town in a blood-soaked, fight-filled extravaganza of pain, gore, and rock!

After the movie by Film Classics had screened at film festivals across the nation and even in Leeds, England, the Overtime Theater showed it last winter to a packed house. The idea was then formed to turn it into a live stage musical guaranteed to rock the socks off the audience. Doctor S Battles the Sex Crazed Reefer Zombies: The Movie: The Musical will take the story to even more outlandish heights with the script and lyrics by the original team of director Bryan Ortiz and writers Evan Boston and James Hartz. Jaime Ramirez will be the music director.

Audition Requirements: Women and men of all ages are needed (including a full-fledged zombie crew!). Please feel free to prepare a one minute monologue from a contemporary play or horror film. Cold readings from the script will take place. Please be ready to sing -- prepare your own one-minute cut of an upbeat contemporary song and bring a CD for accompaniment. Please be prepared to sing a new song from the musical. Also, please bring a headshot and acting resume.
Address: The Blue Star Arts Complex, 1414 S. Alamo St., Suite 103
Performances: October 8 - November 6, 2010
Contact: info@theovertimetheater.net, 210-557-7562.



Harvey by Mary Chase
Boerne Community Theatre
Date: Sunday, August 1 and Monday, August 2, both at 7pm
Performances dates: September 17 - October 2, possible holdover to October 3
Read thru the week of auditions and rehearsals commence the next week

THE STORY: When Elwood P. Dowd starts to introduce his imaginary friend, Harvey, a six-and-a-half-foot rabbit, to guests at a society party, his sister, Veta, has seen as much of his eccentric behavior as she can tolerate. She decides to have him committed to a sanitarium to spare her daughter, Myrtle Mae, and their family from future embarrassment. Problems arise, however, when Veta herself is mistakenly assumed to be on the verge of lunacy when she explains to doctors that years of living with Elwood's hallucination have caused her to see Harvey also! The doctors commit Veta instead of Elwood, but when the truth comes out, the search is on for Elwood and his invisible companion. When he shows up at the sanitarium looking for his lost friend Harvey, it seems that the mild-mannered Elwood's delusion has had a strange influence on more than one of the doctors. Only at the end does Veta realize that maybe Harvey isn't so bad after all.

DR. SANDERSON (30-40): Good-looking doctor at Chumley's Rest, interested in Nurse Kelly
DR. CHUMLEY (55-65): Head of sanitarium, business-like, develops a bond with Elwood
BETTY CHUMLEY (50-60): Wife of Dr. Chumley, good-natured, bustling
JUDGE GAFFNEY (70's): Elderly, white-haired, full of himself to the point of caricature, long-time family friend

Address: TBA
Characters: CASTING FOR THE FOLLOWING (all roles are open):

Bob Wallace: Baritone, to play late 20's to early 40’s. A superb singer with a crooning style who moves very well. A major singing star, Bob is the guiding force behind the song and dance team of Wallace and Davis. He wears his fame easily and is a born leader, but has some trouble with social and romantic interactions. Despite his occasional gruffness, he is a deeply kind and principled man who is searching for his true love.

Phil Davis: Baritenor,To play 20s to Mid 30's Must have excellent jazz & tap skills, and strong comedic timing. The fun loving, go-getting half of the famous showbiz team of Wallace and Davis. Very, very funny -- a “golden age of musical theatre” clown.

Betty Haynes: Mezzo Soprano, to play mid/late 20s, possibly young-ish early 30s. Warm vocalist who can move well. A sensible and bright young woman who has put show business before romantic relationships for the sake of her sister and their act. At first she doesn't want to like Bob Wallace, then loves him, then loathes him, and so on.

Judy Haynes: Alto, to play early 20’s. Must have strong jazz and tap dancing skills-a major song and dance performer. The younger, more ambitious, slightly scheming Haynes sister. While wholesome and adorable, she is sexy and flirty-a winning charmer no man can resist.

General Henry Waverly: Non singing: To play Late 50s to Mid-60s. A retired US Army General, adjusting to returning to civilian life in post World War II America. Once a powerful leader, he now struggles to run an Inn in Vermont. He remains a man of great principle and dignity. Beneath his hard, curmudgeonly, military exterior lies a warm, compassionate man in need of family and love.

Martha Watson: Alto, to play Late 40s to Mid-50s. A winning, appealing character comedienne. Must move well. Once a musical comedy star, now the general's housekeeper at the Inn, MARTHA has a very dry, wry, honest wisecracking sense of humor. Big hearted but completely unsentimental, she runs the General’s life despite his protestations. She is an irrepressible meddler, but always for what she believes to be the other guy's best interests.

Susan Waverly: Alto, 7 to 12 year old, but plays 9. Strong vocalist who moves well. The General’s granddaughter. Susan is a lovable and outgoing real kid. She is very smart, wise beyond her years, and cares deeply about her grandfather. Once bitten hard by the show biz bug, she demonstrates everything that is winning in the ultimate child performer.

Ralph Sheldrake: Baritone, to play mid to Late 30s. Army buddy of Bob and Phil’s, now a major television executive with the Ed Sullivan Show. Fast-talking NY professional.

Rita and Rhoda: To play mid 20's to early 30's. Comical character voices necessary, strong comedic timing. Bob and Phil’s two star chorus girls, they are brash, sexy, and-fun although perhaps not the smartest.

Ezekiel Foster: Non singing, to play Mid-40s to Late 50s, strong comedic timing. The ultimate taciturn New Englander, who takes life at a very slow pace.

Mike: Non singing to play Mid-20s to Late 30s, strong comedic skills & timing. Bob and Phil’s stage manager. He has a tendency to be over dramatic and completely hysterical, but will get things done. Never seen without his whistle, which he uses to attempt to keep order, and a clipboard.

Featured Vocal Ensemble: 5 men (2 tenors, 2 baritones, 1 bass) and 5 women (2 altos, 2 mezzos, 1 soprano). To play all ages. Strong skilled vocalists, some of which will have featured solos in company numbers.

Featured Dance Ensemble: 4 men and 4 women dancers. Extremely strong tap & jazz dancers who also have talent/experience in ballet and ballroom, some of which will have featured solos in company numbers.

Children's Ensemble: 4 boys and 4 girls (ages 7-14) with strong vocals.

ABOUT THE PLAY: Written in the 1930s, The Children’s Hour is a story of scandal at an all-girls boarding school. When 14-year-old Mary Tilford starts a rumor that her two headmistresses are romantically involved, the lie gets out of control with disastrous effects. This classic work, often considered Hellman’s best, explores the power and irresistible nature of gossip, while shining a light on the attitudes of the time.
