NEW ANNOUNCEMENT! Bit Players AUDITIONS and CLASSES!!!

Improv Auditions (Newport, RI)
"RI's Best Comedy Troupe", The Bit Players are having auditions!

The NEW Bit Players are a fast paced and energized group of improvisation master-minds. Their high energy LIVE shows, full of hysterical characters, hilarious games, and side-splitting musical numbers will leave you wanting more every time. Every show is full of audience interaction.

Our already hilarious family is looking to grow even bigger. With more in-house performances being booked in the summer and more external gigs we need to bring in some talented improvisers. We sell out just about every weekend and our audience demands a hilarious show every time which we are happy to give to them.

Who are we looking for?
- Strong performers who know how to have fun onstage and support fellow performers.
- Experience is NOT a requirement,we have gotten some of our best improvisers from open auditions.
- People who can think quick on their feet and be in the moment.
- We are NOT looking for comedians, people who try to be funny in improv often aren't.
- Singers, musicians, dancers, mimes, jugglers, gymnists and any other talents are all welcome but not required.

Our performers get paid per show and the schedule is flexible. No need to prepare anything, this is an improv audition after all, just come ready to play some games and have some fun.

Auditions will be held: Saturday, June 16 from 10AM - 1PM. Please be on time. Firehouse Theater, 4 Equality Park Place, Newport, RI 02840
