Seeking Actors for a Live Comedy Show
ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. Casting actors for a live comedy show on November 30th. Please, see the details below. Rate: Unpaid. Additional information: The show is a charity fundraiser. 50/50 is a comedy show that pairs nine scripted actors with nine improvisers. In each unique scene, the actor recites their lines as scripted while the improviser, who has no prior knowledge of what their scene partner has rehearsed, makes up their dialogue as they go along. Each two-person scene is from a real script in the public domain. Actors learn the lines for one character/one scene each. There have been 16 performances of 50/50 since 2015, including appearances at Just For Laughs, Ottawa Improv Festval, Combustion Festival, Black & Funny Toronto and Montreal Improv Festival. Actors will: 1. learn lines from a script (about 1.5-2 pages total) 2. attend a short rehearsal (date TBD) 3. perform the script off-book at 50/50 on Saturday, November 30th. When applying, please submit your previous acting experience and conform that you're available for November 30th.
