A Note About Casting
Most roles are open to all genders. Where we have anything else specified, we are open to someone changing our minds. We aim to have a diverse cast and encourage performers of all ethnicities, gender identities, and disabilities to audition for any role. Interested actors with individual needs are encouraged to reach out to discuss how we might facilitate your participation.
AN IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT THESE IMMERSIVE SHOWS:
The show will be presented in an immersive setting, with no stage. The performers move in the same space as the audience, who surround them. Audiences will be seated throughout the show, and may sit anywhere that is not marked "reserved." They do NOT interact with the show or the actors, they are considered flies on the wall for the most part as scenes are performed only inches away from them. At no time will an audience capacity exceed 45 people.
Please email your resume and a brief cover email expressing your area of interest to info@experiencetp.org
Designers & Crew Wanted
We are seeking directors, assistant directors, costume designers, set designers, lighting designers, make-up and hair designers, and properties masters. Please email Alisa@experiencetp.org to inquire.
