SAVE THE DATE! Red Alert!
The St Clair Shores Players are happy to announce a Musical this Fall!
Khann!!! The Musical!
Set phasers to showtime! 🚀 Prepare to boldly go where no musical has gone before in this hilarious, high-energy Star Trek parody musical that beams up sci-fi spectacle, toe-tapping tunes, and lovingly irreverent humor. Packed with warp-speed wit, over-the-top characters, and songs that hit harder than a photon torpedo, this stage production celebrates everything fans adore about the final frontier—while gleefully poking fun at it. Whether you’re a lifelong Trekkie or a curious earthling along for the ride, this interstellar romp promises laughter, heart, and a five-year mission you won’t want to miss.
These are open auditions, age 17+, and we are looking for a diverse group of actors of any gender for this production. We are specifically looking for an African American female (Uhura) and a non white actor for Sulu (Asian, Pacific Islander, Middle Eastern, Native American, etc) as these two roles are very specific to the history of the source material. This production will include several different styles of vocals and dance.

LIGHTS:
The moon, the stars, the sun, a dark cave, a fireworks display and so much more!
PROPERTIES (PROPS):
Every item an actor carries onto the stage must be found, purchased, or made from the ground up.
COSTUMES:
Make costumes, maintain costumes, find and buy what's needed for each show.
MAKE-UP:
Make the actors into beauties or beast, whatever the show calls for.
SET DESIGN & CONSTRUCTION:
Each show must have a new and unique set designed and built.
SET DRESSING:
Got a talent for interior decorating? Well, have we got a job for you. Set Dressing! Turn a lifeless stage into a home, a castle, or whatever.

The above list just begins to scratch the surface of things you can do in this group to help make a show a success. Other important jobs include, set tear down, ticket sales, painting, concessions, etc.
