Auditions Being Held for RIGAMORTIS: A Zombie Love Story
by Chad Savage on Jul.06, 2010, under Chicago Zombie News & Events, General Zombie Interest, Zombie Movies
Collateral Damage Productions is holding auditions for their upcoming film, Rigamortis: A Zombie Love Story. The film is a 30-40 minute comedic musical in the vein of Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog, but is a far more classic musical in nature. It is funny and romantic, but also delves into questions about what it means to be human. You can find out more on our website: www.RigamortisMovie.com.
Friday and Saturday, July 9th and 10th • 10am – 8pm
Superior Street Rehearsal
2744 W Superior St. Chicago, IL • Room 318
If you are unable to make these audition times, please still contact us with your headshot/resume as we may hold more auditions for this film in the future.
Casting is being held for three main characters (two male, one female), all of which must be able to sing and have some ability to dance or learn to dance.
