What to Prepare:

Please prepare the following: Tell a funny story that lasts exactly 1-2 minutes

The story should:

•Be original and truly have happened to you

•Involve as much body movement as possible

•Be free of profanity, sexual or bodily function humor (it’s family-type comedy)

•Show some range of your voice’s volume, pitch and pace

•Be told as if speaking to a large audience

In addition to you own presentation you may be asked to perform some group improvisation, as collaborative brilliance is what RST is all about.

What RST is looking for:

8-12 male or female actors who are over 18 and who can play 25-28 years of age.

Previous theatre experience is not required. Bravery however, is.

All actors will be trained in the specific style of layered comedy, specific to the Rock Salt Theatre.

Actors must be as physically flexible as possible– this form of comedy borders on the athletic.

Casting will be ongoing until all spots filled. Callbacks are possible.

The Comedy Theatre Space:

Shows will be performed in a nontraditional black box space at the Mercer County Park Skating Arena during the off season on a permanent basis. This is a covered, open air space. The time commitment involves all Mondays (for rehearsals) June-October, and shows are Friday evenings 6pm-10:30pm August through the end of October. There is also an optional children’s show on Sundays. This is a truly fabulous opportunity to join and grow with an up-and-coming professional comedy troupe that is planning to take the county by storm! Rock Salt is a family comedy environment, where twisted and zany are in, and disturbing drama is out. We are a mix of "Whose Line", "Saturday Night Live", and something ELSE which is completely new. So fasten your seatbelts.

There is absolutely no pay or compensation at this time.

You must simply love to do it, for the sake of doing it.
