Join us for Auditions! Everyone welcome!
Tues. Aug. 12th and Fri. Aug. 15th Riot Act, Inc. will be holding auditions for its Annual Series of Short Plays.
Annual Series of Shorts includes 3 plays with 3 different directors. The performances will run in Riot Act, Inc’s studio Sept. 17-20. Actors will work with individual directors to schedule rehearsal times.
This year, all three plays are selections from our Annual New Play Festival. You will have the opportunity to work with the playwrights during rehearsals. A change this year, the audience will choose the winners via vote.
Selected plays are:
More Than A Ghost Story by Tami Canaday of CO
Dana and Jam are staying at Dana’s remote cabin on a snowy night and decide to share ghost stories as they wait for friends to arrive. As they delve into their tales, including one about a real murder, it becomes clear that one of them is hiding a dark secret. The secret draws real ghosts to the cabin, turning their night into a chilling encounter with the supernatural.
1 male (can play 30s), 1 male (can play 60s to 70s), 2 female (can play 20s)
Wake Up Calls by Gale Alexander of WY
Three generations of women, separated by miles, maintain connection through a daily ritual of morning phone calls. When a family crisis shifts the relational dynamics in their circle of three, they are awakened to see that time brings change to bodies, minds, roles and priorities. Even phone technologies upgrade, but the pure power of the human voice remains the lifeline we reach for in a crisis.
1 female (can play 80s), 1 female (can play 60s), 1 female (can play 40s)
A Lone Ranch in the Middle Of Nowhere by Georgie Armstrong of WY
A young family navigating life on a rugged, rural ranch in Idaho.
1 female (can play 20s), 1 male (can play 20s)
All three plays are excellent examples of our talented regional writing pool and Riot Act is excited for the opportunity to bring these new creations to life on the stage. There are great roles for both men and women, young and old, and everyone in between!
