Bainbridge Performing Arts has announced imminent auditions for the upcoming production of “Return to the Forbidden Planet” on June 11 and 13.

Inspired by William Shakespeare’s “The Tempest,” this musical is packed with rock ‘n’ roll classics such as “Heard it Through the Grapevine,” “Young Girl,” “Good Vibrations” and “Gloria.”

Blast off on a routine flight and crash into the planet D’Illyria where a sci-fi version of “The Tempest” is set to rock-and-roll as golden oldies unfold with glee. The planet is inhabited by a sinister scientist, Dr. Prospero; his delightful daughter Miranda; Ariel, a faithful robot on roller skates; and an uncontrollable monster, the product of Prospero’s Id, whose tentacles penetrate the space craft.

Run dates are Oct. 12-14, Oct. 19-21 and Oct. 26-28, with a pay-what-you-can preview preview Oct. 11. Rehearsals extend Aug. 18 through Oct. 10, from 6:40 to 9:40 p.m. Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays, plus 11:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturdays.

The cast includes roles for 12 actors, ages 18 and up.

Those auditioning are requested to prepare a 1- to 1 1/2-minute monologue and 32 bars of a rock or “rock-style song.”

An accompanist will be provided, but you must bring sheet music (clearly marked and in a three-ring binder).

All roles are open.

Auditions are by appointment only; 6:30 to 9 p.m. Monday, June 11 and 6:30 to 9 p.m. Wednesday, June 13.

Interested parties are requested to email dhadlock@bainbridgeperformingarts.org to schedule an audition.
