La Crosse Community Theatre will hold auditions for this year’s radio production, H.P. Lovecraft’s “The Dunwich Horror,” on Sept. 15, beginning at 7 p.m., at the La Crosse Community Theatre Annex, 508 Main St. in downtown La Crosse.

In the show, Dunwich, Mass., is the home of the strange Whateley family. Their conjuring and tampering with the laws of nature unleashes an unspeakable abomination upon the world. Only the brave men from Miskatonic University have a chance of saving the world from the Dunwich Horror.

Set specifically to air on Halloween, this is a tale of mysterious creatures, magic spells and other worlds. This radio adaptation of “The Dunwich Horror” brings Lovecraft’s tale of suspense to life in the style of “The War of the Worlds.” It will include a large cast and original music by Ben Koch.

The cast will be made up of 11 to 12 men and women. Cast will also perform sound effects and read commercials.

People auditioning should be prepared to read from the script.

Rehearsals will be once a week on Sundays. All cast will need to be present beginning Sunday, Sept. 21. Final tech rehearsal will be Thursday, Oct. 30.

Performance will be 8 p.m. Oct. 31, and it will be broadcast by WIZM-AM 1410
