Reading Rehearsals: October 20 – 28, 2018


Reading Presentation: October 28, 2018

Casting Info:
SCOTLAND, PA will audition at Late Fall Generals in the musicals room on September 29th & 30th.
There will be one day of callbacks on Saturday, October 6th in Wirtz 215. Specific times will be sent
out with the callback list.
It is possible for students to be cast in a Wirtz production, StuCo show, or another AMTP workshop/
reading, as long as the rehearsal and performance schedules do not conflict.

About the Show:


The new musical version of SCOTLAND, PA takes its inspiration from the film of the same title, which
is itself inspired by Shakespeare’s MACBETH. Shifting that story of murderous ambition to America
in the 1970s, SCOTLAND, PA follows Joe and Pat McBeth, a pair of downtrodden hamburger stand
employees. Pat decides that the boss and his old ideas are keeping everyone else from getting ahead,
so she encourages bewildered Joe to take action. Things quickly take a turn for the deadly, and soon
the McBeths find that their stars are on the rise (just as a bunch of hippies in the woods had
predicted). But when a police investigator takes an interest in the duo, they must act fast to keep the
truth (and the bodies) hidden before the fast food empire they fought so hard to build comes
crashing down on top of them.

About the Reading:


This project will rehearse on the weekend and during the evening during the week; please see the
attached schedule for more detail. Students will need to be available for all of the times indicated.
While memorization won’t be required for the reading, you will be asked to learn music quickly and
retain information in a short time, so conflicts with the schedule will likely not be accepted. The
writers will be in residence for the whole process.
