We are blessed with a large group of talented people who perform in our shows. We have actors who
perform in our East side (private shows) and West side (public and private shows) and some actors perform on both sides of
town.
We currently have a few openings where we are double casting our shows and we are always willing to see
people for auditions in the event an opening is created unexpectedly. Our public performances and our private shows are increasing
each season. Our next round of general auditions is in January. If you are interested in being considered for a role
in our shows, please email your headshot and resume to darknightproductions@cox.net. Please do not consider auditioning if you do not have a 60 second comedic monologue memorized and
can sing on key for at least 24 bars. We are a semi-professional company and we expect all actors to come to us with
having at least minimal experience within the last 2 years from high school or community theater productions. Do not
request an audition if you are not prepared or if you do not have transportation to various areas on either the East side
or West side of town. We are only looking for actors who are committed to quality performances, can take direction well
and who are fun, positive people.
Our actors enjoy the flexibility that working with this production company allows them. Rehearsals
are limited and are scheduled typically for Monday, Tuesday and/or Thursday nights with some Saturday mornings. All
actors are paid a stipend for the shows they perform. They sometimes receive a meal following the performance. Actors
and their spouses may attend a show for food cost for the show if arrangements are made in advance depending on the venue
and space available. Actors who perform with us for a minimum of 5 shows qualify for profit sharing when all shows
have cleared expenses. Actors in this theater company are never asked to be waiters. During scene breaks they can mingle
with the audience in character or take a break in the dressing area. They also do not beg for tips at the end of the show.
We currently offer comedy, interactive mysteries, musicals and independently contracted shows.
Please prepare a song (bring your CD to sing to as there is no accompanist) and a 30-60 second comedy monologue.
Please do not schedule an audition until you are prepared.

We are currently auditioning for males between the age of 25 and 40 with a large build to
play the giant lineman for the football team in Football: The Musical by Alexx Stuart. Sings one solo and six group
songs with harmonies. Needs good comedic timing. Ad-lib skills are desireable.
Auditions are scheduled by appointment for daytime, weekends, or prior to weeknight rehearsals. Location depends on the date
and time scheduled. Headshot and resume are required. Be prepared with a 60 second memorized monologue from a published play
(prefer a comedy) and an upbeat song (prefer you bring backtracks on a CD.) We may ask you to read from the script.
Rehearsals begin September 15th - first show is October 18th. Then weekends from November 7-16th - matinees and evenings.
Please know that memorization of the exact script is expected. We do not encourage adlibs or paraphrasing - the comedy in
our shows depends on actors being able to remember the lines and to have a sense for good timing. Audiences love our shows
and our actors are outstanding. We maintain high expectations for everyone's benefit. For more information, call 480-595-7346.
