Prepare 1-2 short comedic musical theatre song(s) that shows off your range and personality — and don’t be afraid to get a little weird. We love weird. One of the songs can be from the show.

ASH  (Male-Presenting, 20s–40s, Tenor/High Baritone) Our hero — a sarcastic, confident, sometimes clueless S-Mart employee who becomes the ultimate Deadite slayer. Strong comedic timing, physical energy, and a solid vocal foundation with belt capabilities.

CHERYL (Female-Presenting, 20s–40s, Mezzo/Soprano) Ash’s sister — bookish, awkward, and the first to be possessed. A comedic powerhouse who transforms from timid to terrifying. MUST BE COMFORTABLE WITH PHYSICAL COMEDY/MOVEMENT/CHOREOGRAPHY AND CHARACTER VOICES.

LINDA (Female-Presenting, 20s–40s, Mezzo-Soprano) Ash’s sweet girlfriend with a big heart (and an even bigger scream). Romantic and playful — until things go undead. Needs great chemistry with Ash and strong vocal chops.

SCOTT (Male-Presenting, 20s–40s, Tenor) Ash’s best friend — the loudmouth, macho comic relief who thinks he’s the hero… until he’s not. Great for someone with confidence, charisma, and killer comedic instincts.

SHELLY (Female-Presenting, 20s–40s, Mezzo with strong belt) Scott’s girlfriend — a sexy, snarky, and self-absorbed diva who meets a hilariously messy end. Big personality, strong movement, and a flair for camp.

ANNIE (Female-Presenting, 20s–40s, Soprano with belt) A determined archaeologist and scholar who knows way too much about ancient evil. Intelligent, fierce, and just as ready to fight as Ash. A strong leading lady with great comedic presence.

ED (Male-Presenting, 20s–40s, Baritone/Tenor) Annie’s mild-mannered boyfriend who gets a little too close to the book of the dead. Must balance sweet and sinister — strong comedic EXPRESSIVE actor as most of the show he is kept from talking because of Annie.

JAKE (Male-Presenting, 20s–40s, Baritone) A rough, rugged local who knows his way around the woods. Think country tough guy with a golden heart (and a short fuse). Comic timing essential.

PROFESSOR KNOWBY (Male-Presenting, 20s - 90s, non-singing) Father to Annie and the initial one to read from the book of the dead. The role requires a stoic and at times booming voice with a certain amount of gravitas. Usually also performs in the ensemble.

ENSEMBLE / DEADITES The demonic, possessed, singing-and-dancing undead! Big movement, strong harmonies, and commitment to full-throttle, over-the-top fun. This group brings the chaos — and the blood.
