We are now in the midst of the most exciting time….. making preparations for our 2016 Season of AspenDream Productions Comedy Wedding and Murder Mystery Dinner Theatre. We are looking for new cast members to join our touring dinner theatre company.
Since we started nearly 20 years ago, we have continued to grow to become the longest running dinner theatre company in Connecticut! We have earned a reputation as the finest interactive comedy wedding and murder mystery troupe in Connecticut. Our productions have tripled in size and we are in demand constantly.
ABOUT THE SHOWS:
AspenDream Productions produces uniquely written scripted shows. These are not skeleton scripts involving all improv. This is a copywritten formula only done by “ADP”. We have a DJ, dancing, singing, and choreographed dancing. You will interact, eat, and get up close with the guests and bring down the 4th wall. Houses range from 150 to 1,000 guests. We perform for charities, corporations, banquet halls, and private parties. These shows require actors with experience. 95% of our cast has been with us for over a decade. Come join the fun and camaraderie.
The shows are very fast paced farces with unique blocking. Sometimes we are on a cruise ship with two decks and other times we are in unique venues in CT and Central and Western MA. Each site is different. You may play a different character depending on the show you are in.
In order to cast this collection of unique characters, there is an audition process to determine the very best artists, singers, improvisers and collaborators. AspenDream Productions is looking for those who are witty, work well with others, make positive choices and those that are comfortable speaking to audience members. The goal by the end of the night is for audience members to truly feel like “Uncle Franco’s Family”.
