***Please Note All Roles Include On-Stage Intimacy

All Roles Open – Age will not be considered until the final cast is being put together and stage partners decided on, so all performers 18 and older at the time of the performances are encouraged to audition.
Please Prepare:
Any comedic monologue from a play or musical of your choosing at least 30 seconds in length. Shakespeare is fine. Remember this is Steve Martin so the comedy style is absurdity.
Expect cold reads from the play at the audition.
Unable to Make Auditions?
While we try our best to accommodate community events, concerts, and other conflicts, we can never find a date that works perfectly for everyone. If you are unable to make it to the auditions, reach out to the Director, Mat Levine, at [email protected].
Rehearsal Expectations
The scripts will be dispersed to the actors as soon as possible after casting is announced. Rehearsals will not begin until January. Performers are not expected to arrive at rehearsal memorized – but a good understanding of the material will be expected. Rehearsals will be few and intense as the show opens with only 6 weeks of rehearsal and a cast of 4. Schedule will be built around cast availability.
BRING ALL CONFLICTS WITHIN THE PRODUCTION WINDOW TO AUDITIONS
About the Show
Meteor Shower is an absurd comedy about two couples on the evening of a meteor shower in 1993. As is to be expected with Steve Martin, the comedy is quick, physical, weird, rude, and absolutely brilliant. The four performers will need to be comfortable with physical comedy, intimacy on stage, and straight up shenanigans with props, set pieces, and each other.
