UPCOMING AUDITIONS @ RECKLESS
Students are eligible to audition if they are currently enrolled in a class (whether it has started or no) or were in a class within the last 2 months. Anyone who has completed the Masterclass is also invited to audition.
Not a current student but want to get involved? If you are a member of a duo or trio team with someone who is eligible, your entire team is eligible to audition for The Duo/Trio Battle. Otherwise, please look at our classes and sign-up for one today!
DANCING WITH STAR STUFFS (Season 2) / 30-MINUTE THRONES
DANCING WITH STAR STUFFS is getting ready for Season 2! We’ll be bringing you even more salsas, sequins, and spray-tans this round, so get your dance shoes ready. Join the drama, the glamour, the glitter, and the jazz hands for the craziest dance party on earth! Competitors will participate in once-monthly Saturday night shows with new dances each episode. Each performance will be judged on character game as well as presentation; the competitors with the lowest scores will dance head-to-head in an elimination battle and the audience decides who to save and to send packing.
30-MINUTE THRONES will be performed weekly before episodes 4-10 of HBO’s Game of Thrones. At 8:30pm each Sunday, Reckless Theatre will recap all the twists, turns, and tyranny of the previous episode of the fantasy hit! The audience to this show is then invited to stay after and join the Reckless family in watching that night’s episode. Each character will be cast and will be responsible for tracking their beats and events in each episode. Short rehearsals will be scheduled once the show is cast. Please audition in character for the specific role you are interested in. Looking similar to the HBO actor is a plus but not a necessity!
To audition for either or both projects, please sign-up for a one hour block during which you are entirely available. For DWSS you must audition as dance partners with three 1-min long sections of dances: one your choice and 2 with episode-specific themes. These will be emailed to you after signing-up. For 30-MINUTE THRONES, you will perform a brief character monologue and improvise in character. Please sign-up for a time slot via the link below.
Friday April 22, 6-8pm
Wednesday April 27, 7-9pm
BURN THIS SCRIPT / ONE NIGHT ONLY
Want to flex your acting muscles while you show your improv chops? Audition to perform the spine scene for an upcoming performance of BURN THIS SCRIPT or to be cast in a role in ONE NIGHT ONLY’s production of Midsummer Night’s Dream.
In BURN THIS SCRIPT, actors and improvisors collide as beloved scripts are broken down, made topsy turvy, then incinerated and reborn like a phoenix rising. Act 1 - 2 actors present a fully memorized, rehearsed scene; Act 2 - the BTS ensemble improvises with, explores, and fucks with each of the characters; Act 3 - we return to the scene, now with anything up for grabs and the ensemble invading and re-imagining the piece. Will our actors hold their shit together as murderous goats and singing nuns invade their scene? Will playwrights stampede in fury as they watch their creations reimagined in ways otherwise unimaginable? Will audiences embark on an improvisational theatrical journey hitherto unknown? You better believe it. Actors know their script. We say let it burn.
For ONE NIGHT ONLY a brave crew will embark on a treacherous journey: performing a fully memorized play they have never rehearsed. Will the rough waters of unexpected choices, accidental entrances, impulsive love scenes and unforeseen moments threaten to capsize this vessel? Or will our Reckless adventurers keep the ship afloat? One Night Only combines the ephemeral, immediate nature of improv with the narrative power of scripted plays to create a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
BURN THIS SCRIPT performance TBD
If you are cast, you will enter the actor pool and will have your performance scheduled later. No rehearsals, no dues.
ONE NIGHT ONLY: Midsummer Night’s Dream is Friday, June 17 @8pm
The cast will participate in 3 workshops in preparation for the performance. You may not miss more than 1 or your role will be re-cast.

To audition for either or both projects, please sign up for a one-hour block during which you are entirely available. For BURN THIS SCRIPT you must audition as scene partners, not solo performers. Please prepare a rich 2 minute scene and be prepared to improvise with the material. When you choose an audition time, please note the names of both actors. For ONE NIGHT ONLY, please prepare a 60-90 sec Shakespearean monologue. Please sign up for a time slot via the link below.

THE DUO/TRIO BATTLE SHOW (still to be officially named)
This show will pit duo against duo in an epic battle royale! Watch as the Reckless mainstage becomes a blood bath on Friday nights!

The winning team will come back the following week to take on a new adversary - and the cycle of destruction continues…
To be eligible to audition, at least one member of your team must have been a student at Reckless/with Christian Capozzoli within the last 6 months.
