How to audition:
Use SignUp Genius to reserve your timeslot here!
For auditions, please come prepared with a one-minute comedic monologue and one-minute dramatic monologue. Resume and headshot are welcome but not required. You should also be prepared to jump into a short improv exercise. Optionally, if you wish to be considered for any singing roles, please prepare a 16-bar acapella song.
You will be asked to choose which production(s) you are most interested in. Also, be prepared to give as much notice on any timing and scheduling conflicts as possible!
If you are submitting a video audition, submissions must be emailed to info@audacioustheatre.com by Saturday, February 17th @ 11:59PM.
Note on Audacious’ Casting:
We welcome applications from all, and strongly encourage people of color, people with disabilities, immigrants, refugees, and LGBTQ+ persons to apply.
About Audacious:
As a company, Audacious strives to collaborate as much as possible over the course of the artistic process with as many artists involved. All actors will be expected to participate in tech in some capacity, including tech build days. If there are any areas of theatrical tech you are interested or skilled in, please let us know in your application so we can foster all of your artistic passions!
In addition, anyone who contributes to two or more Audacious productions will be considered for our Collaborative Ensemble. Ensemble members receive priority consideration for all casting and production team decisions, and will no longer need to audition for any Audacious productions.
Compensation:
Audacious is offering $35/per performance for all shows, plus audience tips. Additional payment may be earned by making additional contributions to the production (prop making, set design, etc.) Contracts in writing to this effect will be extended detailing this offer at the start of each rehearsal process.
***Note: Drunk Christmas is our annual company fundraiser. As such, this production is all volunteer (unpaid).
Further Information:
We as a company use the Rocky Mountain Artists’ Safety Alliance Community Standards for Theatre, and those are the guidelines we will be following for this season.
Casting decisions will be sent out by February 26th.
We hope to see you there!
