Silence! The Musical
Auditions: Silence! The Musical
Metropolitan Atlanta Theater Awards & OnStage Atlanta
Details
The MAT Awards is proud to announce our upcoming fundraiser production and auditions!! As many of you know, we are a tax exempt, non-profit organization that operates solely on donations and trying to keep the money we spend each year for the ceremonies to be a “wash”. These fundraising productions help us get a little ahead so we don’t have to worry about money. That being said, here is the official announcement:
Music Directed by Nick Silvestri
Choreographed by Zac PhelpsInfo on show and production:
This will be the regional premiere of Silence!
This musical is a parody of the book and film “The Silence of the Lambs”. This show in no way takes itself or the original content seriously. It is a dark comedy which does not shy away from anything. A great deal of adult language and content makes this show R-rated.
No stipend will be paid as this is a fundraiser.
PERFORMANCE DATES:
January 5th – 21st, 2018. Performances Fridays & Saturdays at 8 pm and Sundays at 7 pm.
There will be one special late night show on Saturday January 13 at 11:00pm.
All performances are at OnStage Atlanta
