Auditions!

From Comedy Sportz Website in Ballston:

ComedySportz & the Blue Show are the in-house improv troupes of the Comedy Spot. Both are shortform, audience focused comedy improv shows. (Yes, similar to TV's "Whose Line Is It Anyway?")

COMEDYSPORTZ = clean comedy (PG) with regular weekly performances Fridays 8pm, Saturdays 7:30pm, frequent Saturday matinees for kids, and private shows upon request.

THE BLUE SHOW = "adult" comedy (R) with regular weekly performances Fridays & Saturdays at 10:00pm.

TO SIGN UP. . .
Email us at info@comedyindc.com.
Please be sure to send us your name, email & best phone number to reach you.

PLEASE BRING . . .
Any sort of headshot and resume you may have. Even a casual photograph is fine; we just want a face to put to your name.
(We don't need a professional quality photo: you can even just bring in a digital printout of a picture of you. You will be given paper on which to write down your previous stage and training experience if you don't have a resume.)
Please dress comfortably so that your clothing won't restrict your movement.

THE AUDITION . . .
Doors to the Comedy Spot will open at 7:30pm.
The audition will begin at 8:00pm.
This will be an open audition where we will run you through a variety of games we perform in our shows.

For the audition: keep your material clean so that we know you can perform a ComedySportz show. (Our improvisers perform in both shows, not just The Blue Show.)

WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR . . .

• Confident performers who can listen and react.

• We will be looking to see how well your words and actions onstage show that you are building upon the offers made by your scene partners.

• We are looking for strong character and scenework - not forced jokes at the expense of the story. And remember, we are also looking to see that you can be entertaining, and clean.

New to improv? Not a problem. If you can play well with others onstage - we can teach you the games. Just portray confidence onstage and listen and react to the people onstage with you.

Already performing with a troupe? No worries, you are only expected to perform as often as your schedule allows. We highly encourage our improvisers to perform with as many local groups as possible.

AFTER THE AUDITION . . .
We will email everyone who auditions by 12pm Wednesday.

People who are asked back will then be put on an up to 8-week training/probation period during which new members are encouraged to come to as many practices and shows as possible.

WEEKLY PRACTICES: are every Tuesday 7:30pm @ the Comedy Spot.
