SEEKING A DIRECTOR (non-equity)
For Dallas area premiere
Performance dates November 9 - 21, 2012
Music Director:  Barbara McMillen (subscriber)
Co-produced by Dripping Talent Productions,, ArtCentre Theater

OVERVIEW:  This two-act, pop-rock musical is a funny, raucous yet touching story about a rock band's arrival at a crucial crossroad, rendered chaotic by a turbulent mix of women's lib, sexual freedom, hallucenigenic drugs and an offer they can't--or won't--refuse.  The cast comprises 5 primary roles, two women and three men, all in their late 20s/early 30s and two secondary male roles;  all need to sing, be accomplished at playing "air" or actual instruments, and do simple dancing. The wholly original, musical play has benefitted from numerous table readings around the country, review by the Festival of New American Musicals, and several staged reading performances at the ArtsCentre Theatre in Plano in 2010.  The score features 20 original songs, supported by professional trax recordings that can be used for rehearsals, and if warranted, in performances.  McMillen will be the Musical Director; Windham is available to be Asst. Director.  Windham, along with ArtsCentre Theatre, will drive an aggressive marketing campaign to raise awareness and garner ticket sales.  The production's Director will earn a percentage of ticket sales.  McMillen and Windham plan to record a "cast recording" of the soundtrack with the Production's selected cast prior to the performances.  Would like to cast show in April, to allow time to record the soundtrack.
