AUDITION REQUIREMENTS
Basic improv experience is expected, short form experience is not required.
The audition committee will consist of the artistic director, show directors, and producers.
Performers are welcome to be a part of multiple shows at the theater as long as they can commit to all rehearsal and performance obligations.
We are auditioning for a limited number of spots. We strive to guarantee that everyone has the opportunity to do improv at Imposters Theater and we want to stress that auditions are not the only way to get involved at our theater. If you are not cast for this show, we encourage you to continue attending our free jams, developing your skills in our classes and workshops, and submitting to community shows like Short Form Showdown, Improv Death Match, and Dynamic Duos. See the full list of shows you can submit to here.
PERFORMER EXPECTATIONS
Improv Game Night is a nine month commitment, with monthly performances September-May.
The Improvised TED Talk and What Are We Doing? are 4 month commitments. You will be expected to perform in 2-3 of the monthly shows.
Imposters House Teams must be a priority for team members.
You will be expected to rehearse in order to improve and maintain the quality of performances. Improv Game Night rehearses on Mondays, 3 times a month. The Improvised TED Talk and What Are We Doing? will rehearse once a month.
Team members must show they are open to notes from their coach and the Artistic Directors, and be willing to work at implementing those notes. Team members with a pattern of poor attendance or lateness will be removed.
Each improviser is expected to be a supportive team member and follow our code of conduct.
After the duration of the commitment, the cast will be evaluated based on performance and attendance.
