We are a year-round touring ensemble delivering interactive plays to schools and community centers that explore social issues like teasing, respect, bullying, sexual abuse prevention. healthy decision making, and more! Every show consists of games, scripted scenes, and audience role plays.
Actors are paid hourly starting the moment the cast arrives in our office through the moment the carpool returns to the office after the show. The initial summer rehearsals are unpaid, but all rehearsals and shows after that are paid.
We ask for three days of daytime availability (until 5:00 PM) per week. Performance assignments are distributed two weeks in advance. A typical day is between 4 and 6 hours long. Early mornings are common.
There will be rehearsals over the summer from 9 am - 2 pm on Mondays and Wednesdays starting July 11 - August 10 (it is possible we will not rehearse all of those days). If you have conflicts with rehearsals, please let us know at the audition as we may be able to work around your schedule.
For the audition there will be cold readings from our shows (one from a K-5 script and another from a 6-8 script). After each scene, we'll ask you to improvise a positive conclusion to that scenario with an Imagination Theater staff member playing the role of a student volunteer. Small groups will also have an opportunity to improvise scenes together based on audience suggestions ( ie: "My brother won't let me play in the treehouse, because he says there are no girls allowed.")
Instead of a traditional call backs we will schedule interviews the during daytime hours the following day.
