Registration ClosedBEAT is proud to announce our Halloween holiday production of Hare Dryer (OR A Fool And His Bunny Are Soon Parted) by Tony Palermo. A short, comic dramatization of an urban legend. A family dog brings a neighbor's dead bunny rabbit home as a trophy. The dog's owners try to clean up the dead bunny and drop it off on the neighbor's doorstep--trying to make it appear that bunny died of natural causes. However, a surprise twist ending delivers a marvelous payback to the sneaks. Actors will have the opportunity to learn highly valuable vocal performance skills (did you know many professional actors do lots of voice-over acting) while they tell this hysterical and surprising story. The sound effects crew will get to learn all the original tricks of the trade, and put their own creativity to work
figuring out how to make a wide variety of sound effects! Help us tell this story of a mysterious bunny and neighborhood intrigue! Rehearsals will take place on Zoom, and auditions and recordings will take place at the BEAT studio in small groups.
