So much excitement.
DESIGNERS: Please send a resume and links to portfolio/photos of your work to info@savageumbrella.org

SMs: Please send a resume to info@savageumbrella.org

ACTORS: Please prepare one contemporary monologue, no more than 90 seconds.

Auditions will be held Saturday July 20 from 10:00 am - 1:00 pm. Please prepare to arrive 10 minutes before your audition time. Call backs will be held later in the season.
Please fill out this form for an audition time.

Savage Umbrella creates and develops new work. Actors, SMs and designers are expected to contribute to the creation process. Non-union. Stipends paid. Color inclusive.

FAQ: Do I need to audition for you/send you my design materials/send my SM resume again if I’ve done so in the past? That’s probably not necessary, but a quick email reminding us of who you are and that you’re interested in working with us would be good. Of course, if you’ve got something you think we should see, go ahead and snag a slot/send a link.

The following shows are slated for our 2014-15 season. Look how excited we are!

VINLAND workshop presentation
written by Laura Leffler-McCabe

VINLAND is a remix of history and storytelling; of vikings and Swedish settlers to Minnesota; of truth and the fictions we tell ourselves; of heart, belonging, and home. We seek an ensemble of performers, 6 to 12, M/F. This will be a generative workshop. Actors will work with the writer on prompts and ideas, and the actors will then improv/plan/create material that will then become the script/staging/etc

Presentation dates are September 19, 20 & 21. Minimal to no memorization required for the presentations.

THESE ARE THE MEN
written by Blake E. Bolan and Laura Leffler-McCabe

We will use movement, sound, and text to explore themes both apparent and insidious in the Oedipus mythology - specifically from the point of view of Jocasta, Oedipus' mother/wife. We seek an ensemble of performers, 7M/7F. Each will have a specific character role to create, as well as working with the full ensemble for role doubling, soundscapes, and movement. Some roles are pre-cast.

Rehearsals begin January 7, 2015
First tech is March 9, 2015
Opening night is March 14, 2015
Subsequent performances are March 15, 26, 27, April 4, 5, 7, 8, 15
Closing night is April 18, 2015

PENNY workshop presentation
written by Blake E. Bolan

Penny is a re-imagining of the Odysseus mythology from the perspective of Penelope. While Odysseus is at war for over 20 years, his wife Penny waits and waits. And waits. During her wait a long line of suitors demand her attention. Playing with time, scale and our emotions, SU's retelling flips the original myth on its head and finds more than matronly virtue in the enigmatic Penny.

We seek an ensemble of performers, 6 to 12, M/F. This will be a generative workshop. Actors will work with the writer on prompts and ideas, and the actors will then improv/plan/create material that will then become the script/staging/etc

Rehearsals begin the week of June 1, 2015. There will be 6-7 rehearsals total.
Presentation dates are July 10, 11 & 12, 2015. Minimal to no memorization required for the presentations.
