Show/Character Descriptions (All Roles are Non-Union, Unpaid)

Vocal range top: D5

The Plant (Audrey II)/Voice Of The Plant
May be a puppet, may be an actor, may be a combination of the two. An anthropomorphic cross between a Venus flytrap and an avocado, the plant has an appetite for human flesh that is appeased by Seymour. If applicable, puppeteer doubles as other sizes of the plant. If a puppet is used, an actor/vocalist will be located offstage. The voice is that of a conniving, street-smart ‘villain.’ A funky Rhythm and Blues voice is best – ALL voice parts will be considered for this role.
