TheatreSquared is putting a band together.

The local theatre company is now casting for its upcoming production of the Tony Award-winning British comedy, One Man, Two Guvnors, and they’re looking for area musicians to fill the important roles in a “Beatles-esque” rock band for the show.

Local musician Mark Summerlin, who has worked as music director for national acts such as Seal, Demi Lovado, and others, is handling the casting of the band. Summerlin is seeking multi-instrumentalists who are comfortable singing harmony, he said.

The show runs from Aug. 28 through Sept. 21, and rehearsals are set to begin in early August.

More about what Summerlin is looking for in the cast is below.
