Seeking:

Six fun local diverse actors - who are comfortable with performing for high schoolers, and in unconventional theatre spaces.  They should be able to “suss” an audience out, and be ready at any moment to switch jokes (or an entrance) depending on the venue.  All actors also have ASM duties to help with breakdown and setup o fsetting.

VSF is committed to inclusive casting and providing a safe, welcoming artistic work environment; actors of all ethnicities, abilities, and gender identities are encouraged to audition. Character pronouns are only given as a point of reference. All roles should be able to bust a move.  

​

All roles are double casted - though the double casting can change from the audition room to the offer depending. Please note this is just a guide.
