So, you'd like to join us, huh? Great! Come to the show, help out in any way possible and talk to Ed, our director. We do not have auditions, anymore, so joining cast or crew is easier than ever. We still need to see that you're dedicated, will help out without being asked, and that you'll be reliable.
Here are some things to know (doesn't apply for props):
1) Don't be disappointed if you don't get stage time immediately. We almost always have more than one person for a part at any given time, so once you show that you know the part well enough, then we'll try to set up a time for you to perform. People who want to perform as Frank, Brad, Janet, Rocky, & Columbia even have a better chance to perform because we switch out people for the dinner scene (to allow time to get ready for the floor show).
2) You must plan to be at every show. Missing a show occasionally is okay as long as you let us know in advance, but if you want to perform a part, it is important to be able to perform if the person scheduled cannot perform suddenly, so we need you to be there, if at all possible. Attendance also factors into whether we'll schedule you to perform or not.
3) Physical resemblance to the movie actor is not necessary. We do not discriminate by gender, race, weight, or anything else. We do expect you to try to look like your character when performing by wearing the makeup if your character wears it and getting an appropriate costume.
4) A complete costume is not required to be cast for a part, but it certainly helps. Costume is the responsibility of the cast member, so don't count on borrowing from cast members. If you can't sew, you can shop thrift stores or ask current cast members where they got their costumes. There are also links to sites where Rocky costumes can be made on our LINKS page.
5) You don't get paid for performing - none of us do. Any money collected after the show in tips goes to the cast funds for props and other cast-related stuff.
If you have any additional questions, please e-mail our director. His contact info is on the "Contact Us" link of the site.
Here is our cast's old, outdated AUDITION FORM. We don't use it, anymore, because we don't hold auditions, but you might want to look at it just to see what to aim for when wanting to be part of cast.
Talking to Ed at the show is probably your best bet, but if you want to send something by email about what you're interested in, please do. The info is below
