Audition Notice!!!!

15 Reasons Not to Be in a Play
One Act Play | Directed by Courtney Bedzyk

What if someone gave you 15 very good reasons NOT to be in a play? Well, this hilarious one-act comedy is here to convince you!

15 Reasons Not to Be in a Play is a fast-paced, silly, and energetic show that pokes fun at everything that can possibly go wrong with being onstage—from terrible childhood theater memories and embarrassing costumes to crushes, stage fright, cell phones, crazy weather, and even the possibility of being hunted by spies and assassins! 😂

With a large ensemble cast and plenty of opportunities for physical comedy, big personalities, and creative storytelling, this is a fun show for young actors who love to perform, make people laugh, and work together as an ensemble.

Of course, there's one little problem: after spending the entire show explaining why you should never be in a play…we might accidentally convince you that being in one is actually pretty great!
