Players de Novo is looking for members of the legal community, with or without improv experience, to audition for a new, original show. The show will be partially scripted and partially improvised, blending the wit and nuance of a written piece with the spontaneity and creativity of improv.

The “audition” will be a fun, group experience where you’ll play some of Rapid Fire Theatre’s favourite improv games. No prior improv experience is required – they’re looking for quick-witted, positive people who are willing to look a little silly. If you’re looking to grow your skills of taking risks, collaboration, listening, acceptance and positivity, this may be a good opportunity.

Selected performers will perform in the annual “Lawyer Play”, a fundraiser for Victoria School for the Arts and Rapid Fire Theatre. The cast will rehearse an original new semi-scripted play while also receiving a months-long improv training course based on Rapid Fire Theatre’s core curriculum. You’ll get a crash course in everything from the fundamentals of improv to the most advanced techniques.

Upcoming auditions are happening on Sunday, Oct. 5 at 2 p.m. at Rapid Fire Theatre. There is no cost associated with this event.

Email amy.lind@gov.ab.ca if you’re interested in auditioning, and include your year of call and place of employment.
