Virginity Rocks
Week 10 1pm
​​
Virginity Rocks! is a comedic thriller set in an abstinence camp in ‘Prudeville.’ Hannah is sent there by her father after a false rumour spreads about her. She clashes with her zealous bunkmate, Mary, and forms a budding romance with the shy Conor. The eccentric camp counsellors, Girl Jesse and Boy Jessi, harbour a dark secret—an axe murderer, the SIRAXER, lurks in the woods, killing campers who break their vows of abstinence. As the deaths mount, Hannah, Conor, and Mary attempt to escape and eventually uncover truths about the SIRAXER’s origins. For our audition process we will begin with introductions (names, pronouns, emails) and a quick summary/description of characters for anyone who hasn't read the documents. We'll also do a quick warmup. Then, we'll pick a side, assign characters and give you time to look over your lines. You just begin whenever you/your group are ready! Depending on time and how many people are waiting outside, we might have you read another side. You'll hear back latest Wednesday evening as we'll only have a week and a half to rehearse. This plays content warnings include instances that involve murder, sexual jokes, throwing up sounds, cursing and possible flashing lights. Seeing as this play is a satire about hyperreligiosity, the jokes can perhaps be controversial. However, they are exaggerated and expressed from a fictional mindset.

First Dates
Week 10 7pm
​
Dating can be hard. Really hard. What if your date is fifteen minutes late and they start arguing with you immediately… What do you do?. Watch this FIRST date in real time, as these strangers get to know each other whether they like it or not. It is STRANGE… really strange and gay. ​
​
AN IOU
Week 11 1pm
​
Friendships don’t have rules. Or do they?
‘An IOU’ is an exploration of what it really means to be a friend. When the ‘rules’ are followed, it may just be one of the greatest things in the world. When they aren’t, some difficult choices have to be made. The right choices have to be made.
​
The Roles We Play
Week 11 7pm
​
The Roles We Play is an absurd comedy show about a 'dysfuncional family' which are the stars of a reality TV show. While the producer tries to stir up drama and the conflicting personalities of the family clash, chaos ensues! The roles we are auditioning for are: Deborah (mom), Kevin (dad), Rona and Stacey (daughters), Janusz (Deborah's lover), Ryan (the producer) and the narrator (a voice offstage).
In the auditions we will give you a description of the characters, ask you to read the dialogue sides along with other auditionees, as well as engage in a short and simple improv game (its fun we promise!!) Of course we will also answer any questions you might have!
content warnings: Mention of drugs and alcohol, underage drinking, underage sex, mild verbal violence. NOTE: all of these themes are very exaggerated and dealt with in a comedic, lighthearted, parodic manner.
