Riot Act, Inc. will be holding auditions for its production of It’s a Wonderful Life Monday Monday Sept. 22 from 7-9pm, Tuesday Sept. 23 from 7-9pm, and Saturday Sept. 27 from 11am to 1pm in the Riot Act Studio, 3rd Floor Center for the Arts. The show is helmed by director Deborah Supowit.
Play description:
The play is based on the story The Greatest Gift by Philip Van Doren Stern. This beloved American holiday classic comes to captivating life as a live 1940s radio broadcast. With the help of an ensemble that brings a few dozen characters to the stage, the story of idealistic George Bailey unfolds as he considers ending his life one fateful Christmas Eve. ~DPS
Characters
All actors will play multiple roles. This will be staged as a radio show. We will also be looking for someone to do the live folly (sound effects) work on stage.
Rehearsals will begin in mid-Oct. with a break for Thanksgiving. Rehearsals will only be a few days per week, hence the longer rehearsal period. Performances will be in the Riot Act studio Dec. 11-13 and a Pierre’s Playhouse in Victor Dec. 18-20, 2025. We will also have a rehearsal night at Pierre’s on Dec. 17.
Auditions will consist of cold readings and optional prepared monologues. Please bring to auditions your schedule of conflicts including work schedule through Dec. 21, 2025. If you would like to schedule an audition time, please contact Riot Act, Inc. to do so. Otherwise please arrive at the beginning of audition times. If you are not able to make auditions but still would like to audition, please contact us to set up another time. If you have a headshot and resume, please bring them. If you would like to read the script before auditions, please let us know.
We are also still looking for a stage manager and designers, if you are interested in helping out on the production team. Please contact us for more information.
