Mis-Cast Cabaret hopes for a bone-chilling donation this Halloween.

In need of a special donation… (If you never ask, you’ll never know, am I right?)
This Halloween, we will be presenting a special fundraiser concert, the Mis-Cast Cabaret Halloween Show Tune Spook-tacular, featuring the one and only Christina Wells. We would like to have as the showcase raffle item one of those huge 12-foot lawn skeletons, but they can cost between $300 – $500 (depending on how many extra features you want to splurge for). Since this is a fundraiser, that is just WAY beyond the budget of this shindig.
We are asking if there is ANYONE who has one of these very cool monstrosities and is willing to let it go for a very good cause… or if there someone out there willing to sponsor the purchase of said very cool monstrosity? If you, or someone you know, is willing to throw in, you can either email Danny Seibert directly at [email protected] or just reply to this post.

Summary

This Halloween, the Mis-Cast Cabaret will host a fundraiser concert titled the Mis-Cast Cabaret Halloween Show Tune Spook-tacular, featuring performer Christina Wells. The event aims to enhance the celebration with a raffle item: a 12-foot lawn skeleton, which can cost between $300 and $500. Due to budget constraints, the organizers are seeking donations or sponsorships to acquire the skeleton. Community members are encouraged to reach out if they own a lawn skeleton they are willing to donate or if they can contribute financially to purchase one.

Performances:
September 18 – 27, 2026

Synopsis:
These two companion one-act plays both explore themes of grief, fandom, and family. In “Graceland,” two women, Bev and Rootie, both of whom consider themselves to be Elvis Presley’s number one fan, comically face off to be the first to enter The King’s Memphis home in 1982. The prequel, “Asleep on the Wind,” set 10 years earlier in rural Louisiana, reveals Rootie’s heart-breaking backstory and her deep bond with her beloved older brother and protector, Beau.

Character Descriptions:
Bev Davies, F/40s+: From New England, strong-willed and opinionated, but also very generous and open. She is very careful about her appearance despite her junk food obsession. She is totally and completely dedicated to Elvis and expects nothing less from those around her.

Rootie Mallert, F/20s: From Cajun country, Louisiana. She has a frail build, is uneducated and extremely simple, naïve and unworldly, sincere but determined. Having grown up surrounded by men, she is unsure of how to act with women, but wants very much to be liked.

Rootie DeJaun, F/13: Timid, shy and frailly built. Doesn’t have friends, spends most of her free time with her oldest brother, Beau, whom she idolizes. Not comfortable with other people. Self-conscious, insecure, awkward. She lives for her brother, who can bring out her fun, giggly, even slightly tough side.

Beau DeJaun: M/20s: Very handsome, a dreamer and tale-spinner. Sensitive, gentle, and like his sister, not very comfortable with those outside his family, or even his own much wilder brothers. He is charming and romantic, and at times seems wise beyond his years.

Audition week for Company challenges directors with casting choices, chemistry, and talent.

“Sorry-Grateful ” the complexity of marriage in a song but as well right now, VERY accurate to how I feel after this week of auditions for Company.
You don’t get to audition for Company often, it is one of the most vocal demanding musicals you can get in that also insists on equally present acting performances.
With a full summer for Houston I am in such an emotional state of gratitude and blessedness for every one of the auditioners that came out this week. From friends to acquaintances the challenges of finding a balance of chemistry, talent, and availability was what I’d call a happy challenge. They kept me busy reviewing, consulting with a judging panels, and rearranging.
Thank you to all of you talented members of this community you have my respect for your skills, prep, and courage. Next time I’ll choose a show with more than 14 people 😂
Thank you to everyone who shared and supported to get them in the building!
Thank you Denise Mancinas for photos, to think you were only coming to do that for us and ended up loving the show!
A huge shout out to Stephanie Perry Patrisso my awesome Co-director who’s wisdom and experience will keep us on track, my music director, Roberto J. Reyna who’s ear and knowledge will help us navigate this beautiful show. To Amelia Cevallos who was FREAKING out until day 1 of auditions because I wouldn’t let her get any materials ready because I didnt want any advantages 😂 but even with that she was able to block out the process to make sure everyone got to read the parts I wanted to see them on and not have a 3 hour night on a weekday. 🙌
Looking forward to announcing the cast tomorrow!
Let me just say I had to hold back some serious tears having them read one of my favorite scenes… You’re not going to wanna miss this show with this cast.

Summary

Auditions for the musical “Company” recently concluded in Pasadena, generating a mix of emotions for the director. The production is known for its vocal demands and requires strong acting performances. Over the week, numerous local talents participated, creating a busy environment for the director as they worked with a judging panel to assess chemistry, talent, and availability. In a statement of gratitude, the director acknowledged the efforts of everyone involved, appreciating their skills and courage. A special thank you was extended to Denise Mancinas for her photography and to co-director Stephanie Perry Patrisso for her guidance. Music director Roberto J. Reyna’s expertise was also highlighted as vital in navigating the musical’s complexities. Amelia Cevallos played a key role in ensuring the audition process ran smoothly.

Step into the spotlight for a chance to join Pasadena Little Theater’s productions of Graceland and Asleep on the Wind.

AUDITION NOTICE:
“Graceland” and “Asleep on the Wind”
Directed by Kerry Goff

Auditions:
Sunday & Monday, July 26 & 27, 2026 @ 7:00p.m.
Black Box Studio Theatre @ PLT (red double doors at the rear of the parking lot)

Auditions will consist of cold readings from the script. Headshots and resumes are welcome, but not required. All roles are available.

Performances:
September 18 – 27, 2026

Synopsis:
These two companion one-act plays both explore themes of grief, fandom, and family. In “Graceland,” two women, Bev and Rootie, both of whom consider themselves to be Elvis Presley’s number one fan, comically face off to be the first to enter The King’s Memphis home in 1982. The prequel, “Asleep on the Wind,” set 10 years earlier in rural Louisiana, reveals Rootie’s heart-breaking backstory and her deep bond with her beloved older brother and protector, Beau.

Character Descriptions:
Bev Davies, F/40s+: From New England, strong-willed and opinionated, but also very generous and open. She is very careful about her appearance despite her junk food obsession. She is totally and completely dedicated to Elvis and expects nothing less from those around her.

Rootie Mallert, F/20s: From Cajun country, Louisiana. She has a frail build, is uneducated and extremely simple, naïve and unworldly, sincere but determined. Having grown up surrounded by men, she is unsure of how to act with women, but wants very much to be liked.

Rootie DeJaun, F/13: Timid, shy and frailly built. Doesn’t have friends, spends most of her free time with her oldest brother, Beau, whom she idolizes. Not comfortable with other people. Self-conscious, insecure, awkward. She lives for her brother, who can bring out her fun, giggly, even slightly tough side.

Beau DeJaun: M/20s: Very handsome, a dreamer and tale-spinner. Sensitive, gentle, and like his sister, not very comfortable with those outside his family, or even his own much wilder brothers. He is charming and romantic, and at times seems wise beyond his years.

Step into the spotlight for a chance to join Pasadena Little Theater’s productions of Graceland and Asleep on the Wind.

Summary

Auditions for the plays “Graceland” and “Asleep on the Wind,” directed by Kerry Goff, will take place on July 26 and 27, 2026, at 7:00 p.m. in the Black Box Studio Theatre at PLT. Participants will perform cold readings from the scripts, and while headshots and resumes are welcome, they are not mandatory. All roles are open for audition.

The performances are scheduled for September 18 to 27, 2026.

“Graceland” features two women, Bev and Rootie, who, both self-proclaimed Elvis Presley fans, compete humorously to be the first to enter his Memphis home in 1982. The prequel, “Asleep on the Wind,” takes place a decade earlier in Louisiana and delves into Rootie’s poignant backstory, highlighting her relationship with her older brother, Beau.

Character roles include the strong-willed Bev, the naive and sincere Rootie, the timid Rootie DeJaun, and the charming, dreamy Beau.

Summary

This groundbreaking concept musical explores 1970s New York marriage and intimacy through a non-linear series of vignettes. It centers on Bobby, a single man grappling with the commitment of his five married friends, ultimately finding the necessity of connection. This Sondheim masterpiece features such well-known songs as “The Ladies Who Lunch,” “Side by Side by Side,” “Getting Married Today” and “Being Alive.”

Larry (male-presenting) Stage Age 40 – 60+ | Vocal Range: B2 – G4 (Baritone)
Joanne’s rich, third husband who loves to dance and completely adores Joanne in spite of her demeanor towards marriage. He sees Joanne for who is under the tough outer shell and is determined to never leave her side with the hopes he will remind her they are both worth loving.

Synopsis:
Kim is determined to save Christmas—starting with her grumpy, widowed father, John. Tired of his holiday gloom, she concocts a plan to jolt him out of his rut by inviting a few “surprise” guests: his long-lost first love, Leslie (whom he hasn’t seen in 30 years), her sharp-tongued mother, and a mischievous ten-year-old niece who loves giving him grief. Throw in Kim’s husband, Dennis—whom John’s never quite approved of—and her two friends, Laney and Julie, a pair of Christmas-crazed enthusiasts, and you’ve got the makings of a holiday disaster! But when a winter storm traps them all inside together, the real chaos begins – and results in a Christmas experience John will never forget.

Summary

“Trials, Tribulations & Christmas Decorations,” a heartwarming holiday play written and directed by Matthew Carlin, opens this Friday with three performances already sold out. Set to run from December 5 to December 21, 2025, the production promises a delightful experience for families looking to embrace the spirit of the season. The story follows Kim, who is determined to cheer up her grumpy widowed father, John. In a bid to lift his holiday spirits, she surprises him by inviting a mix of guests, including his long-lost love, Leslie, and her outspoken mother, alongside a mischievous ten-year-old niece. Adding to the tension is Kim’s husband, Dennis, whom John has never approved of, and two Christmas-obsessed friends. When a winter storm strands the eclectic group together, what begins as a recipe for disaster evolves into an unforgettable Christmas that John will cherish. Tickets are now available through the show’s official website.

Synopsis:
“The Game’s Afoot” catapults audiences into a whip-smart, quick-fire mystery from the hilarious mind of Ken Ludwig. It’s 1936, and legendary Broadway star William Gillette—celebrated for his uncanny Sherlock Holmes—gathers his theatrical friends at his glittering Connecticut mansion for a festive holiday soirée. But when the lights dim and a real murder crashes the party, the evening explodes into a riot of comedic mayhem, razor-sharp banter, and deceptive clues. Packed with outrageous characters, shocking twists, and gleeful theatricality, this high-energy romp delivers a dazzling mash-up of mystery, mischief, and farce.

Character Descriptions:
(All roles currently available)
William Gillette, Male-presenting, 40s–60s: A charming, intelligent, and somewhat dramatic actor known for playing Sherlock Holmes. Confident and occasionally theatrical. The host of the gathering and the center of the unfolding mystery.

Martha Gillette, Female-presenting, 60s+: William’s elegant, classy, and strong-willed mother. Warm, witty, and fiercely protective. A grande dame with style and spirit.

Felix Geisel, Male-presenting, 30s–60s: William’s longtime friend and fellow actor. High-strung, anxious, and prone to comedic panic.

Madge Geisel, Female-presenting, 30s–60s: Felix’s wife and an experienced actress. Bold, clever, and dryly humorous. A sharp foil to Felix’s nervous energy.

Simon Bright, Male-presenting, 20s–40s: A young actor in the troupe. Enthusiastic, charming, and energetic with an earnest streak and a hint of ambition.

Aggie Wheeler, Female-presenting, 20s–40s: Simon’s fiancée and fellow performer. Sweet, sincere, bright—and carrying a few secrets.

Daria Chase, Female-presenting, 30s – 70s: A glamorous and sharp-tongued theater critic known for stirring trouble. Stylish, bold, and unafraid to ruffle feathers.

Inspector Harriet Goring, Female-presenting, 30s–70s: A quirky and unexpectedly brilliant local police inspector. Humorous, unconventional, and memorable.

December 5 – 21, 2025
Synopsis:
Kim’s had it with her widowed dad, John, and his “bah humbug” attitude. This Christmas, she’s determined to drag him—kicking and grumbling—back into the holiday spirit. Her plan? A festive ambush! She invites an unpredictable mix of “guests” to his house: John’s long-lost first love, Leslie (who he hasn’t seen in thirty years), her sharp-tongued mother, and her mischievous ten-year-old niece—all ready to test his patience and his heart. Add in Kim’s husband, Dennis (John’s least favorite person), plus two of Kim’s friends, Laney and Julie—two bona fide Christmas fanatics—and the result is pure holiday chaos.
But when a blizzard traps everyone inside, tinsel flies, tempers flare, and old wounds melt faster than the ice outside. It’s a hilarious, heartwarming Christmas collision that just might thaw even the frostiest of hearts—and turn John’s “worst Christmas ever” into one he’ll never forget.

Help bring laughter to life in ‘Menopause Made Me Do It!’ by donating kitchen cabinets for Pasadena Little Theater’s upcoming production.

URGENT DONATION NEED:
* The upcoming production of “Menopause Made Me Do It!” is in need of a small bank of 3 or 4 upper and lower kitchen cabinets (similar to the ones pictured).
* The style and color do not matter at all, as they will most likely get painted over to match the rest of the set, as long as one upper cabinet door and one lower drawer works reliably.
