Can you do a great Joe Biden? Dance as a giant dildo? Want to be a comedy star (or at least occasionally be recognized when shopping at Costco)?

 

Esther's Follies on Sixth Street, Austin's #1 comedy and magic theater since 1977, is holding auditions for male performers with comedy, musical, stage and light dance experience. Comedy sketch/song writers are also needed. 

 

Esther's Follies show combines short comedy sketches, monologues, musical production numbers and magic illusions. Political satire comes up often in the show, as we parody the news and cultural events. Reviews have compared us to "Saturday Night Live with the Ed Sullivan Show thrown in", with a fast paced contemporary vaudeville feel. 

 

Esther's Follies show rehearsals are in the daytime on Tuesdays and Wednesdays every week, from noon to 3 pm, and before shows on Thursdays and Fridays from 6-7 pm. You will need to attend rehearsals to be in the shows. 

 

Auditions will be held June 21st & 22nd, 2022 from 2:30-4 pm, or upon appointment. Please send resume and reels to efauditions@gmail.com, and to tickets@esthersfollies.com. You can also call our office at 512-320-0198 between 10 am - 3 pm M-F to ask any questions or set up the audition time for you. 

 

Actors should prepare a 5 minute audition piece to show comedy creativity, characters you can play, and be prepared to be taught a dance routine to show your flexibility. Actors should also prepare a short song, not necessarily comedic, sung acapella or with your own tape on our sound system, to show us your vocal capabilities. 

 

All actors are paid, depending on experience, to start at least $600 per week. Showtimes are Thursdays at 8, Fridays and Saturdays at 8 & 10.
