Come audition for Augsburg’s spring production: Paradise Park Zoo! The sign up sheet is up on the theater’s doors. Auditions are next week, January 29 and 30! So come sign up for a 3 minute slot before it’s too late!
The animals at the zoo are very busy—experimenting with meditation, processing their relationships, honing their wilderness survival skills, hosting community meetings, arguing about doors. No one is talking about the cages. The cages are not important or are they? The cages are not…the cages are…the cages. Paradise Park Zoo is a three act meditation on capitalism and the radical left, with some dances.
GROUP AUDITION
➡️Sign up for one of the slots posted outside the Foss Theatre⬅️
Please prepare a 20-second movement sequence inspired by a Zoo animal. Each Group Audition will take up to 12 participants and run for 50 minutes.
Be ready to play improv games and read a short selection of the script.
⭐️INDIVIDUAL AUDITION⭐️ (Actors and/or Musicians)
➡️Sign up for one of the 3min slots posted outside the Foss Theatre⬅️
Please share a 40-60 second piece. Actors may use any text (monologue, poem, excerpt from a book or newspaper, etc.). Musicians are encouraged to play contemporary music (Pop, Rock, R&B, Salsa, House or any music you might hear at a bar) which may include self-written work.
Bring your own instrument. A Piano will be provided.
If you’d like, you may share both a text and a song, just keep it under 2 minutes 🙂
We hope to see you there!
