ABOUT THE SHOW:
In the sprawling post-apocalyptic city of Lost Vegas, a young gunslinger named Jess December is on a mission to avenge the death of her sister. With the help of her strong-man sidekick, Lucky, and the mysterious, sword-wielding cowboy, Malcolm, the three of them must contend with the threat of the notorious Long Tooth gang and The Devils. To get revenge, they may have to become just as bloodthirsty as the monsters they’re up against!
TO AUDITION:
You will be asked to perform various readings from the script with other actors in your group. Please be familiar with the sides and character descriptions before auditioning. Sides will also be available at the auditions.
All roles are open to people of any gender, unless specified. The Station Theatre strives to make the audition experience a fun and relaxed experience for actors of all levels, regardless of experience.
As the name implies, Six Rounds of Vengeance is a physical production. Those auditioning should know, if cast, there is a lot of physical movement in this play, including fighting, dancing, and some kissing. We will be working with fight and intimacy choreographers.
If you have questions or would like to read the script to familiarize yourself with the characters and the physicality involved, please email us at
