Actors Needed for One Act Jamboree

Pompton Lakes, NJ, United States
ID: 284798Exp: 5/11/2025
Description:

Auditions for One Act Jamboree. Looking for actors. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE CONSIDERED. See more info below. About the project: "Fresh Hell": A marriage is put through the wringer as two parents try to register their kid for summer camp. ​"1 + 4 = 200": As the world awaits the coming cosmic apocalypse, a group of lottery winners are queued up to board an experimental one-way ship to the distant Alpha Centauri Proxima Cb. However, when Dahlia learns that her “winning” number only gets her on standby, she takes matters into her own hands to move up on the list. ​"I Never Caddied for My Father": A father and son find themselves on a golf course. But how did they get there? ​"Early Retirement": A group of co-workers throw a small office party celebrating Joe's "early retirement," which in this future is a euphemism for corporate-sponsored assisted suicide. ​"The Brother's Grin": In the early morning hours, Billy, a middle-class suburbanite facing a job interview in just a few hours, is startled by an unexpected visit from his disheveled, estranged older brother, Jimmy. It has been six years since their last encounter, and Jimmy, looking worse for wear, arrives with a desperate request. As tensions rise, old wounds resurface, revealing a history of abandonment, resentment, and sibling rivalry. Jimmy once left his children in Billy’s care, promising to return in a few days—but never did. In his absence, their mother, Sylvia, reclaimed them, cutting off all contact with Jimmy. Now, after years of silence, Jimmy needs Billy’s help again. ​"Choices": A debtor burdened by crushing student loans is offered a way out … but is the deal too good to be true? ​"The Maltese Walter": On the eve of his wedding day, mild-mannered accountant Walter visits therapist Dr. Eddy with a big problem. Walter’s fiancée Vera refuses to marry him unless he gives up his superpower and secret identity: Noir-Man, able to transform any moment into film noir. When Vera arrives, she and Dr. Eddy convince Walter to “go straight,” but the therapy takes an unexpected turn. ​"Wine DNA": Sorella and Jonah try to connect over their love of wine on an obligatory blind date. What could go wrong? ​"What Happens in Pre-K, Stays in Pre-K": A typical morning in a preschool classroom, first year teacher, Hazel, with six of her Pre-K students. ALL STUDENTS ARE PLAYED BY ADULTS. Through multiple conversations and exhausted moments with her children, she is reminded of why she is a teacher in the first place. *All lines from the show are taken from real-life conversations with preschool students. Additional info: The sides are attached. Rehearsals are based on cast coordination with individual directors - 6 rehearsals required before tech - start 5/15. Show dates: July 25 - 27, 2025. If you are interested, please apply.
