Dayton Drunk Theater is looking for 5-10 actors/improvisers/silly gooses for its amateur theatrical troupe!
DDT performs historical plays with a twist–improvisation, audience participation, and a whole lotta drinks (for those who partake). Audience members can expect to laugh til they cry, toast to tomfoolery, and maybe even be a part of the performance themselves!
Dayton Drunk Theater’s home stage is in the gallery room of Yellow Cab Tavern in Dayton,
Auditions will consist of improvisational games and cold reading from a one-act version of Shakespeare’s MACBETH. But this isn’t just any cold reading! You’ll perform the script with a randomized character, setting, props, costume, etc. We’re not looking for perfection–we’re looking for entertainment!
Auditions run Aug. 9 from 5:30pm-7:00pm; please plan on arriving on time and staying for the duration of the auditions so we can pair you with multiple scene partners.
Information for Troupe Members:
DDT troupe members are required to attend a mandatory dress rehearsal on Sunday, September 29th from 5-9pm and the performance of MACBETH on Friday, October 11th from 7-10:30pm. There may be additional optional practices as necessary. You are not committing to any future shows, although you are welcome to join us again in the future.
Troupe members may be asked to work the front door/ticket table for performances, lead games for audience members during the pre-show and intermission, hold cue cards for the audience, or other miscellaneous duties.
You are not obligated to drink at any time as a member of Dayton Drunk Theater, although you absolutely may at your discretion! Your choices regarding drinking are entirely your own and will be on your own dime. We do encourage patronizing our lovely home bar, Yellow Cab Tavern.
With any questions, please contact daytondrunktheater@gmail.com.
