Come Audition!

Are you a local Fort Wayne talent who loves acting and improvisations? We have a BRAND NEW show concept launching this year and we are looking for professionals to join our troupe! Chapter 1 has been cast, but we are still seeking to add 5-8 more individuals to our rotating ensemble show to bring each unique iteration month to month to the Fort Wayne area.

Family Shows are Thursdays at 6pm, Fridays at 6pm, and Saturdays at 1pm with a special 21+ show on Saturday Nights called BS Theatre.

Chapter 1: April 15th - 25th
Chapter 2: May 13th - 23rd
Chapter 3: June 3rd - 14th
***SUMMER OFF***
Chapter 1: August 5th - 15th
Chapter 2: September 2nd - 12th
Spooky Stories: October 7th - 17th
Holiday Stories: November 4th - December 5th

Characters play various roles throughout each show, so diverse casting is a must! Special talents such as juggling, short hand magic, standup comedy, aerial arts, painting, dancing, musical instruments, puppetry, gymnastics, and more will be a huge plus.

Each cast member will receive a contract and pay stipend for each "Chapter" they book/are committed to.
