Audition Forms for Actors
Casting Call! We are searching for actors for two short absurdist (and comedic) musical theater pieces. Actors should be comfortable with “playing the fool” a bit, as well be comfortable with a little improv (not much).
This production has a location ready to show in the River Arts District, Asheville. We are planning at least two stage performances this coming Fall/Winter (Nov-Feb).
Actors will earn majority portion of ticket sales.
Online Audition Submissions will be accepted until September 25.
The online audition form will ask for the following:
Short singing sample
One-minute monologue
Resume or brief bio
Please Note:
Because you will be uploading files, a Google account is needed to complete the audition form. If you do not have a Google account please email us here and you will be sent an email version of the form.
