The Joliet Drama Guild is beyond excited to announce auditions for our brand new project Studio J! Studio J is going to be a collaborative collective of passionate theatre creators focused on high impact, low requirement productions.
What does Studio J do? Whatever we want to! There is no set definition of what a Studio J show is. Since each show will be created by the people performing it we will be able to play to our strengths.
Short form improv? Sure!
Sketch comedy? Sure!
Fully staged productions of Moliere classics? Probably not, but…..
Basically whatever skills you have as a theatre creator we want to see!
Where do we perform? Wherever we want! While we will have a sort of “home base” at Joliet Bicentennial Park Theatre, we will also be looking at performing at local bars/restaurants, banquet halls, basically anywhere we can.
We are looking to cast 6-12 performers, ages 18 and up, who will be members of the company for a full year, however that year long commitment does not mean we will be taking all your time, we will design our shows to be flexible enough to rotate through the cast.
Please bear in mind, this is our first year doing this, so a lot of things are very up in the air. This is a great opportunity to get in on the ground floor of something we are hoping we can build into a long lasting and really fun project. Also bear in mind we are a community theatre, and cannot offer pay, but we will pass the hat at any and all Studio J shows.
Auditions will consist of a few improv exercises as well as possibly some traditional audition exercises such as cold readings of some sketches. We will also have time set aside for a showcase of any special skills so please come prepared to show off! We would also like to see samples from any performers/writers interested in joining, those can be sent to [email protected].
Auditions will be held on January 28th and 29th at Bicentennial Park in Joliet, address 201 W Jefferson St, Joliet, IL. Please sign up for a slot using the link below. https://www.wejoinin.com/sheets/arznq
