Auditions will consist of cold readings from the script.

Steampunk is a sub-genre of science fiction, alternate history, and speculative fiction. Specifically, steampunk involves an era or world where steam power is still widely used—usually the 19th century and often Victorian era Britain—that incorporates prominent elements of either science fiction or fantasy.

Performances will be at Sam Bass Theatre May 20 - June 11, 2011.
