Auditions for Improvised Comedy Troupe
Improvisers Wanted!
Jupiter Theatre is creating a new improvised comedy troupe in Calgary! We’re looking for all types of performers interested in a live, improvisational table-top roleplaying performance starting in January 2025. The idea is sort of like a cross between an improv game show like Whose Line Is It Anyway? and a D&D actual play. Mixing short form and long form improv with fantasy RPG (à la Dungeons and Dragons), this show is a recipe for critical tales and epic fails. Roll the dice! Expect laughter and adventure! Let’s have some fun!
We’re seeking a diverse cast to create an ensemble of players. Ideal performers have acting experience, are strong improvisers, and are well-versed in Tabletop Roleplaying system(s) (Two out of three ain’t bad either if you’ve got a desire to pick up new things quickly!).
Rehearsals will be Monday and Wednesday evenings for the month of January 2025 (starting January 8, 2025) with the first performance scheduled for the weekend of the month. Subsequent scheduled performances are TBD.
This is a PAID contract for performers. Payment will be comparable to indie theatre rates.
We’re also going to be looking for stage management, improvised lighting design, and live sound/music creation. So if you’re interested in any of those, feel free to reach out/submit yourself as well.
Further, if you’re not able to be involved in the show in January, but would like to still be involved somehow or would like to be considered for future work with the troupe, just let us know.
Auditions will take place Monday, January 6, 2025 from 6pm to 9pm.
