Written in 2025 by Maureen Lennon with music by Tor Maries, this high-energy play with music tells the story of 18th century feminist Mary Wollstonecraft... and introduces to her daughter Mary Shelley, the creator of Frankenstein. We're looking for actors, singers, instrumentalists, and dancers of all identities and presentations to help us tell this monster story!</p>

<p> </p>

<p>No advance preparation is required -- at 6:45pm each night, we'll teach a short audition song (sheet music and instrumental accompaniment available here) that everyone can learn together. You're welcome to practice it in advance, but that's not required. If you'd like to sing an alternate pop/rock song, feel free to do so a cappella or with accompniment from your phone. Auditions will include singing, reading from scenes from the play, and a group movement exercise. </p>
