BREAKDOWN
We're on the lookout for an eclectic mix of performers, each bringing their unique flair and artistic prowess to our ensemble. No matter your background or identity, we invite you to apply for roles that interest and excite you.
Joining our dynamic troupe means being part of a rotating cast, collaborating closely with the director to sculpt your character, putting forth your individuality, and spotlighting your strengths as a performer. It's a celebration of you!
Here, comedic brilliance, a magnetic stage presence, specialized talents, a fondness for Shakespeare, and a fervent commitment to ensemble play are the keys to unlocking this exhilarating experience.
Note: Cast members are required to drink onstage approximately once per week. Strict drinking guidelines will be adhered to.
ROMEO: A hopeless romantic with a flair for the dramatic and zero chill. He falls in love faster than
you can say 鈥渟tar-crossed,鈥� and he means every word, every time. His FYP is an emotional
rollercoaster: sad boy poetry, shirtless sword tutorials, and POVs where he stares longingly into the
camera. Emotional range, comedic instincts, and the ability to commit 100%鈥攚hether kissing, killing,
or spiraling in a monologue about fate. Charisma, charm, and sex appeal are a must, and should
leave the audience wondering if they鈥檙e watching Shakespeare...or just catching feelings.
$85.00 – $85.00 per show
