For the 2018-2019 season, we’ve chosen the Victorian tale of Sweeney Todd, the Demon Barber of Fleet Street. This is a revenge tale with an undercurrent of dark romance, as the title character goes on a killing spree to avenge a love he thought he’d lost. Want to help bring this tale to life in all its bloody glory? Come to our auditions in Kaiserslautern on Kleber Kaserne, in Bldg. 3232, 483-6626; 0631-411-6626.
