Join the
neighborhood.
Fifteen speaking roles, one movement role, and a community that behaves like a chorus. Detroit-area actors strongly encouraged. Lived-in authenticity will beat polish in every room.
Before you audition
This is not a movie about monsters.
Every character in this story believes they are protecting someone. Nobody wakes up trying to become the villain. Perform the human being first. The horror comes afterward.
What we want
Bring truth, restraint, and specificity. Leave the ‘horror voice’ at home. If your audition is scary, we did something wrong. If your audition is honest, the scenes will do the scaring for us.
