Comedy Tonight!

Join the Players onstage as a member of the cast, or backstage on the crew of this witty and fast-paced musical. We will have a riotous summer and still have a month left after the show closes. We're seeking a cast of men and women (approx 8M/9W + ensemble) with a few roles open to older teens (16+). Prepare a song and short comic monologue of your choice. See the list of characters below to choose role(s) to audition for.

Special treat: Some members of our cast will receive
stage combat training by professional stuntman Mark Bedell!

Rehearsals will begin May 19. Rehearsals will generally be held Monday-Thursday evenings and Sunday afternoons. You may not be required to be at all rehearsals depending on your role(s). All cast and crew will be required to be available to rehearse every evening the final week before the show and on the tech day (July 6).
