Oct. 07 - Oct. 09
The Paramount Theatre (Austin Theatre Alliance) is seeking a diverse group of actors, improvisers, singers, and movers, to join the Paramount Story Wranglers, a TYA program that takes the original writings of 3rd grade students and transforms them into a comedy/musical/variety show. The show is performed for the student writers and their school community to uplift and empower the voices of young people.
Join the Paramount Story Wranglers! Auditions for adult performers are coming up on October 7th and 9th, 2025. This is a paid opportunity.
