SYNOPSIS

Written by Saymoukda Duangphouxay Vongsay and directed by Mu artistic director Fran de Leon, Kung Fu Zombies vs Southeast Asian Girl Scouts is making its world premiere October 2026. The story follows three Southeast Asian Girl Scouts who are keeping their community together during the zombie apocalypse. Between helping their elders, doing food runs, and building campfires, they’ve probably earned, like, four Gold Awards each. This genre-bending world premiere is the finale of Saymoukda’s Kung Fu Zombies trilogy, but all you need to know is that, for some reason, these zombies know kung fu.

SEEKING

Non-union actors at $300/week. All roles are local contracts. Martial arts, stage combat, or dance movement ability is a plus, but any necessary training will be provided.

WHEN & WHERE 

WHAT TO SUBMIT & PREPARE

  1. Fill out our audition form, which will also ask you to send over your headshot and resume to auditions@theatermu.org.

  2. Sign up for in-person auditions at our SignUpGenius. We are holding hour-long, group auditions where you will work on movement with our fight choreographer Mason Tyer. Throughout the group session, Mu staff will bring individuals to a different room to perform their acting side of choice.

    ATTIRE: Clothes and shoes you can move in. You may be asked to move while barefoot, as well.

  3. Acting sides are available in this folder. Please prep for all interested roles, but come ready to identify and audition for your first choice.

  4. If you are an AEA member and there are no open slots during your availability window, email us at auditions@theatermu.org and let us know which slot you can attend; we will accommodate your availability.

Note: You must fill out the audition form regardless of whether you are auditioning in person or submitting a video.

REHEARSAL & PERFORMANCE DATES

Rehearsals will take place in the Mu Studio and at the Frey Theater at St. Catherine University (2004 Randolph Ave, Saint Paul, MN 55105). Performances will take place at the Frey Theater.

ENSEMBLE DESCRIPTION

Ensemble members may portray characters including villagers, zombies, and Bad Men. While your part may have speaking lines, it is not guaranteed. (What is guaranteed is that you’ll be in at least one movement-heavy scene!) If you want to be considered for both a principal character and an ensemble role, you must sign up for both auditions. Learn more about the principal cast auditions on July 29 & 30.
