ComedySportz Announces Auditions!
Join the Cast of ComedySportz Philly! We are holding auditions the weekend of April 25th
Interested in joining Philadelphia’s top improv comedy theater company? ComedySportz is having auditions on April 25th, with callbacks on April 26th. Applicants will be required to reserve a 10 minute audition block in the morning or afternoon on Saturday April 25th at the Adrienne Theatre (2030 Sansom Street, in Center City Philadelphia). If you are called back for the second day, April 26th, you will be required to attend a two-hour group audition, either during the morning (10:00 am to 12:00 noon) or the afternoon (1:00 pm to 3:00 pm).
It’s improv, so no preparation is necessary except a willingness to be spontaneous. Improv experience is welcome, but not required—we are just as interested in raw potential. Head shots are accepted, but also not required. Some pay is involved for privately booked shows and those cast will be required to participate in a five-month training program before performing live.
To reserve an audition slot, please e-mail auditions@comedysportzphilly.com. (Slots are given out on a first-come, first-serve basis.)
Some general information about ComedySportz Philly:
ComedySportz is competitive comedy now being performed in 21 cities across the country and in the UK. Philadelphia performs every Saturday at 7:30 and 10:00 at the Adrienne theater. We also regularly book private shows for corporations, schools, individuals, etc. The show is designed as a sporting match between two teams of improvisers who vie for points by playing a series of improvisational theater games based on suggestions from the audience. We create the feel of a real sporting event, with sporting paraphernalia, the singing of the national anthem and Astroturf. A referee guides the action, timing the games and calling fouls such as the Groaner Foul (for really bad puns) or the Brown Bag Foul (for profane or shock value humor). ComedySportz has been playing in Philadelphia for over 17 years and has performed in front of thousands of fans. Our diverse cast includes Barrymore-award winning actors, as well people from other careers and professions.
