Auditions are open for a variety of hilarious roles for adults ages 18 and up in two one-act comedy plays, “Breaking Badly” and “Meet the Roommates”, directed by Jon Taylor for Studio For Performing Arts LA.
This event will also double as a charity fundraiser, with profits to support the California Fire Foundation and our scholarship fund!
ABOUT THE SHOWS:
Breaking Badly - Ending a relationship is never easy -- unless, of course, you outsource the task. Desperate for a way out, Lily turns to The Breakup Center, where she can pick the perfect method from a selection of real breakups. But which approach will she choose? Reverse psychology? A team of lawyers? A tasteful emoji? Either way, somebody's about to get dumped.
Meet the Roommates - Two friends discover an incredible online simulator that shows them exactly what each of their future college roommate experiences will look like. Yet after a few minutes with a raging narcoleptic, a world-class procrastinator, and a children's party clown, it may be time to seriously consider living alone.
DIVERSITY SCHOLARSHIP PRODUCTION:
This production will include a break-out cast of Los Angeles actors. Industry VIPs will be invited to attend the special engagement with a special Creatives Mixer following the show.
