AUDITION/CASTING
TALE TRAVELERS
Blindspot Collective seeks performers for Tale Travelers, an immersive journey through a library where literary characters come to life. This production will be part of La Jolla Playhouse’s WOW Festival. Co-Directors Shellina Hefner and Abi Hood are seeking professional performers over the age of 18 with improvisational experience. Immersive theatre experience is beneficial but not necessary.
Performers will receive a stipend of $250 for rehearsal, and $50 per performance for an estimated 6 shows for a total compensation of $550. Note that a single “performance” may require playing a scene more than once but each performance will be 2 hours or less. Additionally, total compensation will be based on the number of performances – meaning it could exceed $550 but a minimum of $550 is guaranteed.
PRELIMINARY SCHEDULE:
March 29th - April 18th, 2024: Rehearsals scheduled based on performer availability, primarily on weeknights and weekends
April 19th - 23rd: Technical Rehearsals & Dress Rehearsals
April 24th - 27th: Performances (both daytime and evening are possible; final schedule to be determined by La Jolla Playhouse)
