‘Villain School’ auditions set June 20-21 in Milford

Milford’s Second Street Players announced Director Guy Crawford and Assistant Director Ally Deihl will hold open auditions for its family show, “Villain School,” at 6:30 p.m., Friday and Saturday, June 20 and 21, at the Riverfront Theater, 2 S. Walnut St., Milford.

The cast will consist of 16 youth actors between the ages of 10 and 17 and five adults ages 18 and above. Auditions will consist of a cold reading from the script. One youth role includes singing briefly. Performance dates will be Friday to Sunday, Aug. 29 to 31.

The Villains’ Institute for Learning Evil is where all the famous storybook villains go to learn their wicked ways. Having its own social groups of monsters, convicts, witches and misfits, V.I.L.E. also has evil geniuses who are at the top of the food chain and rule the school. But things are turned upside down when a new student, Frank Stein, shows up. He not only challenges how things have always been done at V.I.L.E., but also falls head over heels in love with Heidi Jekyll – which is strictly forbidden at the school. At first not wanting anything to do with Frank, Heidi changes her tune after a science potion she makes goes awry and she turns into a sweet princess. With their fate at school uncertain, will the forces of evil tear them apart or will true love prevail?
