Submissions for the April 2008 showcase are now CLOSED. If you would like to be considered for our July 2008 showcase, be on the lookout for our breakdown to be released via Actors Access in late April, with auditions in May. Woo hoo!
We're always looking for comedic actors with excellent timing, experience with improvisation and sketch comedy, and are especially interested in performers with original material. Priority consideration for audition slots is given to actors who have previously been cast through Cricket Feet Casting .
If you are scheduled for an audition, you will need to prepare a short comedic scene (bring your own scene partner, who may either also audition for us or just be there to help you out) and arrive with three headshots/resumés ready for us to review. You'll do your scene for Bonnie Gillespie (casting director), Eitan Loewenstein (showcase coordinator), and our director Chil Kong. We'll watch your work, discuss the schedule, and get to know you a bit before sending you on your way.
After selections are made, we'll head into our rehearsal and meeting period. Don't worry; we're not going to put you through some ridiculously tedious rehearsal schedule. We're working hard on prescreening to be sure we cast the most professional, prepared, ready-to-book actors in town, and that means we trust that you will be working on your scene on your own time, once we've agreed on scene selection (for which your primary casting type and industry goals will be assessed).
In addition to working independently and with our director on your showcase scene, you will be guided through the process of creating the best presentation of your materials for the industry kit and maximizing your marketability through showcasing. Because of this attention to detail in actor screening, scene selection, and marketing materials, industry attendees will have a very positive experience and will happily rate your performance. Why is that important? Well, the actors who receive the most positive reviews from industry after the showcase will receive prizes from our fabulous sponsors. Cool, eh?
