SYNOPSIS:
The New York Times proclaims Puffs “A fast-paced romp through the ‘Seven Increasingly Eventful Years at a Certain School of Magic and Magic.’ For Potterphiliacs who grew up alongside Potter and are eager to revisit that world, Puffs exudes a jovial, winking fondness for all things Harry!” This clever and inventive play “never goes more than a minute without a laugh” (Nerdist) giving you a new look at a familiar adventure from the perspective of three potential heroes just trying to make it through a magic school that proves to be very dangerous for children. Alongside them are the Puffs, a group of well-meaning, loyal outsiders with a thing for badgers “who are so lovable and relatable, you’ll leave the theater wishing they were in the stories all along” (Hollywood Life). Their “hilariously heartfelt!” (Metro) and epic journey takes the classic story to new places and reimagines what a boy wizard hero can be. Puffs is not authorized, sanctioned, licensed or endorsed by J.K Rowling, Warner Bros. or any person or company associated with the Harry Potter books, films or play. Note from the director: "My goal is to make this show an opportunity for members of communities that have been marginalized by A Certain Author Who Must Not Be Named And Is A Dark Wizard IRL to reclaim the Similar But Legally Distinct story/world, and be a part of it in a way they makes them feel seen, valued, and appreciated for exactly who they are. ALL are welcome in this production, but I’d like to especially encourage people of color and members of the LGBTQIA+ community to audition." Due to brief instances of language and intimacy, all actors must be 18+ and out of high school as of the first rehearsal date (9/9/2024). There is no maximum age – anyone young at heart will have fun with this show. You may pre-fill your audition form here, or you can fill it out onsite. Video auditions are allowed. Instructions for submission are in the form. Most actors will play multiple characters of a wide range of ages, but will spend the majority of their time as a student from the ages of 11 to 17. Pronouns listed are those of the characters, but they are open to actors of any gender who are comfortable playing that part. Some actors will play characters of multiple genders. Strong comedic timing, British accents, and ability to do a variety of voices are BIG plusses for most roles. ALL ROLES ARE AVAILABLE
AUDITION REQUIREMENTS: Please prepare a comedic monologue, approximately 1 minute in length. Callbacks, if necessary, will consist of cold reads from the script. For certain roles, a short improv exercise will be done as well. Questions can be emailed to [email protected]. |

SYNOPSIS:
A Twisted Christmas Carol is a Texas spoof of Charles Dickens' classic A Christmas Carol. It’s Christmas Eve in a small west Texas town, and cantankerous barbecue joint owner Buford Johnson gets in an argument with his wife Darla, tells her he's skipping Christmas, storms out of the restaurant, goes four-wheeling in his pickup, gets hit by a twister, rolls his truck, and goes into a coma. He comes back in his dream where he's visited by ex-business partner, Hank Walker, who plays the ghost of Christmas past, present, and future. Hank takes Buford on a journey similar to Scrooge's in A Christmas Carol, only Texas-style. ALL ROLES AVAILABLE AUDITION REQUIREMENTS: Audition requirements to be updated at a later date. |
