Ocean City Theatre Company To Hold Auditions For Play About The Jersey Devil

Ocean City, NJ -- The Greater Ocean City Theatre Company (OCTC) will hold auditions for a special fall production of “The Living Dragon,” an original play that explores South Jersey’s most famous urban legend: the Jersey Devil.

The story goes that Mother Leed’s 13th child was cursed and shortly after birth, transformed into a creature possessing the features of a horse, bat, and reptile that now haunts the New Jersey Pine Barrens.

The show is family friendly, and captures the spirit of the spooky season. It is not a musical, and offers a unique acting challenge for the students involved, OCTC said.

Auditions for students in 6th-12th grades will be held on Tuesday, Sept. 20, 6 p.m., and Sunday, Sept. 25, 2 p.m., at the 8th Street Recreation Center on the corner of 8th Street and Haven Avenue.

Performances will be held on October 29 and 30 at the Ocean City Senior Center.

More information and audition requirements can be found on the education registration page at www.OceanCityTheatreCompany.com.
