BALTIMORE ROCK OPERA SOCIETY (BROS) seeks Interns and Volunteers
Baltimore Rock Opera Society (BROS) seeks Interns and Volunteers for roles in the Costume Department of its Spring 2013 production, MURDERCASTLE. Interns can earn college credit through participating in the production, and volunteers will collaborate with other great artists in Baltimore’s leading rock theater production outfit and ultimately present their work in front of over 1,500 fist-pumping maniacal fans!

MURDERCASTLE recounts the life and times of H.H. Holmes, America’s first documented serial killer. Set to a musical score which includes styles from death metal to marching band arrangements, BROS recreates the splendor of the 1893 World’s Fair in Chicago, the dashing entrepreneurship that Holmes used to build a small empire, and the grotesque fate of his victims.
Help wanted:
MURDERCASTLE features over 20 characters, some with costume changes, and Interns will be responsible for designing and crafting many of the costumes for the show. Working with Costume Director Naomi Davidoff, Interns will gain experience in a large, production-oriented, and facemeltingly fun work environment.
