Wraith Radio
by Bottle Alley Theatre Company
Aug. 29 - Aug. 30 (2016)
Wraith Radio is a non-linear theatrical piece revolving around the subject of the afterlife. Two women, under siege, are broadcasting their final thoughts from a small room that they have barricaded themselves in. They are trapped with only each other and their memories.

Bottle Alley Theatre Company shall be holding auditions for a cast of two women and two men for our world premiere production of Wraith Radio. This show shall be the first production in our fourth season, which is entitled Haunted
Performance dates shall take place the first two weekends of November. We operate on a laid back rehearsal schedule of rehearsing Tuesday and Wednesday evenings.
Bottle Alley Theatre Company is an independent, experimental theatrical company that has been staging original work in all manner of odd places since 2012. Our work aspires to be stripped down, raw, visceral, and shall always aspire to be thought-provoking while maintaining our always present sense of honesty onstage. We believe that rehearsals, and the process at large, should be fun and worth your time.
Here are some links to get an idea of our aesthetic:

We firmly believe that all artists should be paid to do the thing that they love and therefore our performers are paid, and will always be paid, a small stipend upon the conclusion of each show. It usually winds up not being very much at all, but the profits from the show are divided and distributed equally to the performers.
Still interested? Here is how to audition:
