Evenings in Quarantine: The Zombie Opera

Our media gallery, picasa album, and facebook photo page are now updated for your viewing pleasure!

Latest additions include some awesome photography from our recent performance at the Sprout Fund‘s annual fundraiser, Hot House 2010, taken by Howard Kim, Corry King, and Gwen Schmidt.  Enjoy!!!

Ever notice that a synth ooooh or ahhhhh choir patch never sounds like the real thing? Well, to enhance the soundtrack of the stage show, we plan to add as many voices as possible to our ‘studio choir’.

Do you love to sing? Are you a choir addict? Did you want to audition for a singing role in the show but don’t have the free time or flexible schedule to commit to weeks of rehearsals? Join us for two days this month (one rehearsal and one recording session) and be in the show ‘forever’!

“The Zopera Studio Choir is the living oooohs, ahhhhhhs, sciiiiiience, and zommmmbie singers of our show!!!”

For schedule, contact information, and more details, please visit our Studio Choir information page.  (link fixed)

Remember, zombies don’t sing. People do:)

EDIT:   Hiya, just a reminder if you wish to be on the Studio Choir contact list to receive updates and information about rehearsals and our recording location, you must contact us directly via email. Thanks!

We would first like to extend a warm congratulations to all of our filmed actors. As the film is edited, your performances are AMAZING! We are looking forward to getting you back in the studio for music recording work.

On a sadder note, we here at Evenings in Quarantine: The Zombie Opera have discovered the pitfalls of casting a show six months in advance. For several of our stage actors, life has taken them in a different direction, and they have had to bow out of the zombie opera this year.

This means that we are holding a second wave of auditions to fill these stage roles. If you are interested in auditioning for a lead role in Evenings in Quarantine: The Zombie Opera, please contact Liz Rishel to schedule an appointment.

Auditions will be held by appointment in the following 15-20 minute slots in the McKelvey Room at the ELPC:

Sunday, August 8th- 2:00 pm- 5:45 pm
Monday, August 9th- 7:00 pm- 10:00 pm
Tuesday, August 10th- 7:00 pm- 10:00 pm

For more information about the roles we are looking to fill, and further details on the audition process, please visit our Stage Cast page.
