ABOUT THE SHOW:
What would you do to survive 6 more weeks of winter?
Day of the Hog is a darkly funny new play set in Punxsutawney, PA, where two hedgehogs brace for
Groundhog Day as the weight of a potentially extended winnter threatens their home, their survival, and
their love. As Phil’s shadow looms large, what begins as absurd woodland satire slowly spirals into a
sharply tragic, intimate story about survival in a system that was never built for you.

We are currently casting ALL ROLES as well as a spots in an onstage choir.
View the full character breakdown HERE!
This is a play with music. Any previous choir singing or strong ability to carry a tune a capella is a plus! This show contains Gregorian chant, so feel free to sing your favorite and most haunting hymn… or just a song that shows us YOU :) We would like to hear it WITHOUT accompaniment: A capella.
