Hey! Apologies in advance for the multiple cross-post, but...

RubyRico Productions (the people who brought you the Broken Clock Cabaret / Tom Waits Peepshow) are holding auditions for a new cabaret! This show will be a weird-funny-racy-grimy-sweet fairy tale/peepshow with live music, dance, comedy and some audience participation, and will be performed every weekend in April 2009.
* AUDITIONS WILL BE ON SATURDAY, DECEMBER 6, 1pm-4pm. *


Each weekend of the show will feature different variety acts:
We are looking for clowns, puppeteers, jugglers, weirdos, acrobats, hoopers, storytellers, sword swallowers, safe & humane animal acts, magicians, poi spinners, contortionists, vaudevillians and villains -- if you can work it into an entertaining act, we want to see it! (But sadly, because the show will be inside a nightclub/ theater, we cannot accommodate aerial work or fire acts.)
* AUDITIONS FOR VARIETY ACTS WILL BE HELD FROM 2pm TO 4pm. *


We're also looking for 1 or 2 male dancers with the following goodies:
-- technical modern dance proficiency
-- a capacity for inventive improvisation, both physical and verbal
-- an instinct for comedy and expressive theatricality (you have to be willing to look goofy and ham it up)
-- willingness to take off yer clothes, but only down to the scivvies
For dancers the rehearsal schedule will be intensive throughout January, February and March, but we're flexible and will do everything we can to accommodate time conflicts.
* AUDITIONS FOR MALE DANCERS WILL BE HELD FROM 1pm TO 2pm. *


Each auditioning act or dancer will have a 5-minute slot to audition.
Please bring a prepared piece to perform.
Music should be either on CD or on mp3 player.
Dancers will also be asked to learn and perform a short combination.
There is no rehearsal pay, but all performers will be compensated for performances.


Auditions will be held at The Circus Barn, a rehearsal facility on the east side of town on the way to the airport.
6404 HERGOTZ LANE, AUSTIN, TX

Thanks! Ellen
