Audition Information
Unlabeled Theatre Company: We are a diverse company of artists with a wide range of talents and needs. Our performances are stronger and more impactful when we are able to showcase the abilities of all artists. Our productions utilize the “shadow partner” staging model. Each role features an actor-artist with a cognitive/physical disability or are neurodivergent, who works with a shadow partner to develop and perform a role together. Because every member of our company has different needs and talents, each partnership is unique.
Seeking Actor-Artists 18+: who have a cognitive and/or physical disability or are neurodivergent, and are interested in the mission of Unlabeled Theatre Company of creating unified theatrical performances.
Seeking Shadow Partners 18+: Ideal partners are those with professional, theatrical, performing experience, or who have experience working with individuals with different needs. Please email Jessica Froehlich, Artistic Director, your resume and letter of intent if you are interested in working as a shadow partner.
Next Show: The Rocky Horror Show
In this cult classic, sweethearts Brad and Janet, stuck with a flat tire during a storm, discover the eerie mansion of Dr. Frank-N-Furter. As their innocence is lost, Brad and Janet meet a houseful of wild characters, including a rocking biker and a creepy butler. Elaborate dance numbers and rock songs such as “Sweet Transvestite” and “The Time Warp” reveal Frank-N-Furter’s latest creation: a muscular man named “Rocky.” Fresh from their performances at 7th Street Entry and The Green Room, local band THE MENAGERIE provide the music for this rocking score . Complete with sass from the audience, cascading toilet paper and an array of other audience participation props, this deliberately kitschy rock ’n’ roll sci-fi gothic musical is sure to provide a night of dance, laughs, and fun! (Content Warning: Language, Mature Themes).
Partnerships are the key to how we are able to create these incredible performances. Each artist cast in a show is partnered with a professional or emerging theatre artist. The two perform the role together in unison. However, if an artist needs personal care or behavior support, they will need to have an additional support staff attend every rehearsal and performance in order to assist with those needs. UTC does NOT provide personal care support.
Please plan on attending auditions with your legal guardian (if applicable) or a person who provides you with most of your transportation and support.
