Theater Auditions in Manhattan, New York

The Millennial Plays II: I H8 COVER LETTERS and I #CAN’T LIVE HERE

Location: Manhattan, New York

Type: Theater

A.S.K. Theatre is presenting a staged reading of two new one-act comedies entitled:
“I H8 COVER LETTERS”
and
“I #CAN’T LIVE HERE”
“I H8” looks at the absurdities of applying for a job in your 20’s, while “I #CAN’T” deals with the weirdness and struggles of living with your family post-college.

Memorization is not required, but there will be some blocking. It will be a short process, with six rehearsals planned before performances at Shetler Studios on November 10th and 11th at 8:00 p.m. There will be a $30 stipend for each actor involved. (Enough for an Uber trip!)

Casting Comedic Web Series ‘Broker Bob” in Phoenix

Broker Bob

Location: Phoenix

Type: Comedy

This show is about a group of millennials trying to make it in America via real estate.

This character is for a young male (19-22). He is the intern of Broker Bob, a very successful commercial real estate sales agent. He is only referred to as “pledge” as many of the people in the brokerage are from Greek Life. (this is made fun of) The “pledge” is treated much like a real pledge in a greek house. However, everything remains PG-13 and it’s relatively clean comedy. Think The Office.

The character will be a very nervous, yet very “excited to be here” kind of mentality. He will actually end up acting a lot like Morty from the show “Rick and Morty.”

This will be a high energy stage so don’t be a goober. Be a champion.

310 South 4th street, Phoenix

Payment: Other
It’s a pilot, so if we get picked up, you could get a part in a real show
