By reserving an audition slot below, you're expressing interest in becoming part of an ensemble for CBC Theater's upcoming 2025 Spring performance: Peter Pan Against Humanity. Actors MUST be available to commit to all scheduled tech rehearsals and performance dates. During the audition, you'll collaborate with other auditionees in a game of Cards Against Humanity all while performing scripted scenes. You will be judged based on your ability to stay in character, performance abilities, and comedic timing. We will also be looking to gauge your dancing and singing abilities by means of learning and recreating song and dance.

So...what EXACTLY is this show going to look like?
Step into an outdoor Kava Bar transformed into a vibrant stage where the absurd meets the hilarious! Communication by Captivation is thrilled to present Peter Pan Against Humanity in April 2025. These laugh-out-loud productions put a fresh, chaotic twist on classic tales, blending sharp performances with outrageous audience participation. From London to Neverland, our actors will bring beloved characters to life, only to face unexpected curveballs as they improvise their way through the absurdity.

Audiences are invited to join the fun by influencing the story with playful twists, making each performance uniquely unpredictable. Actors will adapt to whatever challenges arise, all while delivering unforgettable performances full of wit, charm, and spontaneity. Tickets are available for both shows—don’t miss your chance to experience the magic of comedy, chaos, and creativity under the stars!

For instance, if Captain Hook is delivering the line:


"I'll get you for this, Pan! I'll make you walk the plank and..."
*Picks up card*
"Adopt a family of raccoons?!... I mean... how could I not? They're just such resourceful little creatures..."
(proceeds to go on a rant about adopting a family of raccoons)
"Anyway... what was I saying? Oh yeah! I’ll make you walk the plank... back to the scene."

While, as an actor, the prospect may sound slightly intimidating, the cast will be well versed and work closely with the directors and producers to make sure they have the tools to bring the show to a successful conclusion, while navigating the many different moving aspects of the production.

Peter Pan Against Humanity will be happening at:
SquareRut Kava Bar
6266 US-290, Austin, TX 78735

*All actors will receive a percentage of profits from ticket sales, as well as a share of tips, donations, and other "pay-to-play" contributions collected during performances, with compensation determined by their track and scene count. Additionally, each actor will be provided with a unique promo code that splits ticket revenue between CBC and the assigned actor while offering ticket buyers a discount. This payment structure ensures that every cast member is fairly rewarded for their contributions while promoting collaboration and support within the team.*
