Enter the story, not the theatre. The image of Queen Elizabeth I bringing guests into her court to see the newest masque or hear the newest play comes to mind.

The Living Room Series:

As the founder of CASA, I want you, the audience, to feel as if I am inviting you into my house, my living room, for an evening of entertainment. There was nothing "elaborate" to it, except the queen, her castle, the lords and ladies...ok, so it was elaborate...but the idea of opening one's home to guest and providing them with entertainment in an intimate setting thrills

me! Thus, the Living Room Series. Goals of the Living room Series:

1. Casts which require young performers - giving them the opportunity to work side by side with experienced professionals - doing shows that would most likely NOT be done in a high school theatre.

2. An intimate setting for the audience with uniquely environmental productions.

3. Making art by telling a story.

4. Keeping all productions affordable to anyone by using pay-what-you-can prices, then giving back to the community by donating proceeds to a charitable cause. Thank you for your support! Sincerely,

Gina Cerimele-Mechley

AUDITIONS ANNOUNCEMENT!

Bust out your breast pumps, your Tums, and your blowtorches.

CASA is bringing the wildly hilarious political comedy POTUS: Or, Behind Every Great Du***ss Are Seven Women Trying to Keep Him Alive to the stage, and we are looking for a powerhouse cast of women ready to unleash absolute comedic chaos.

This show is fast, fearless, and unapologetically ridiculous. Think high stakes, rapid fire comedy, and a worldwide feminomenon of women scrambling to save the country from one very bad day in the White House.

If you love big characters, physical comedy, and scripts that move at the speed of a political scandal, this one is for you.

Audition for one of the unforgettable women at the center of the madness!

Please note the roles of Harriett, Jean, and Stephanie have already been cast.

Submit your audition by APRIL 4.

Link for Virtual Submissions in Bio!

Come ready to play. Come ready to run the country.
