No experience necessary, all are welcomed to attend! Auditions will consist of cold readings from each piece. Below is more info on each piece. We hope to see you there!
Note: Some shows are only looking to fill certain roles. Ages indicated are those of the character, not necessarily of the actor.
The Waiting Room by Scotty Duval. Drama. A group of recently deceased souls meet in between life and the afterlife, unable to let go of life due to regrets and unfulfilled dreams. 2 Females, 1 male, and 2 any. Age 20’s-30’s, with some flexibility.
Playing by the Rules by Peter DeNegre. Drama. A college athlete has the opportunity to go pro, but some of his past relationships and a cheating scandal may jeopardize his future career. 2 males, 2 females, all around college-aged.
Jorts by Julianna Cargo. Comedy. 5 teens are stuck working a summer job, and suddenly find themselves in the midst of a fashion nightmare. If you think your retail job is bad, just you wait! This show is only auditioning for the role of Bennet. Bennet (18)- Snarky, clever, corner-cutting, and the most thoughtlessly outspoken of the kids. Avoids taking things seriously unless it comes as a consequence to him. Not the most desirable personality, but has some redeeming qualities. Like his ability to lighten things up a little, despite the situation at hand.
Curse You, Matt Damon by Jill Zarcone. An absurd comedy. 2 females- elderly, but can be played by actresses age 30 and up.
