Seeking a bold and enchanting actress with a strong command of Shakespeare’s text, ready to mesmerize audiences with every compelling twist of the taleDRINKING ON STAGE
Every night, one of our performers becomes 'The Drunk Actor,' orchestrating controlled chaos by issuing challenges, performing their own curated 'Drunk Challenges,' and becoming the audience's champion. This role allows you to bring an elevated version of yourself beyond Shakespeare's boundaries, fostering a fresh and engaging show every time. There is one drunk actor per show and the schedule is organized to ensure no performer drinks more than twice a week. There are numerous internal systems in place to ensure the well-being of performers and audience. The “Drunk Actor” receives free safe transportation home. Finally, we acknowledge that everybody has a different relationship to alcohol. We are seeking to celebrate joy, laughter and libations as people have done through time but only you know if this is the right environment for you. Performers begin with an initial 4-week trial period so that both the performer and production can decide if this is a great fit. Brass Jar Productions does not promote irresponsible drinking, and strict drinking guidelines will be adhered to. By submitting for this casting you are acknowledging that you are over 21 years of age, and that you want to drink and perform Shakespeare on stage approximately once a week. We do not condone alcoholism. If you believe you may have a problem, please do not apply.
TIME COMMITMENT: Holiday availability and flexible schedule are a must! Weekend availability is required. Initial rehearsals may be held during both day and night. Actors will begin with an initial 4-week trial contract, followed by an extension with the opportunity for an open-ended run.
Performance Schedule: Drunk Shakespeare typically runs seven days a week with 10+ performances. Cast members are not guaranteed a minimum number of shifts, but are guaranteed at least 1 day off per week. There will be a rotating cast to cover all performances as the schedule expands and there is great potential for learning additional tracks. Our management team prioritizes collaboration, striving to accommodate your scheduling needs and fostering an environment of flexibility and growth.
