Casting for a scripted sketch comedy web series AND building a local sketch troupe.
Ground floor opportunity to be part of building something that aims at reaching national attention.
THE OPPORTUNITY:
Get in early on a locally written, produced and performed comedy web series designed to grow across major social media platforms, with potential for serious reach. Plus, help build a sketch comedy troupe right here in Pittsburgh that can perform independently and develop into something real itself, separate from the web series.
WHAT YOU GET:
✓ Chance to be founding talent in content aimed at national audience
✓ Ideal rehearsal studio space located in northeast Pittsburgh for weekly rehearsals
✓ Access to professional filming equipment & production space with experienced crew
✓ FREE professional headshots
✓ FREE audition tape recordings
✓ Gas compensation during filming of web series
✓ Platform exposure as the channel grows
TWO WAYS IN:
SCRIPTED WEB SERIES (Actors or Sketch Performers)
Perform in written sketches for a professional web series. This is the content that launches everything - strong performances are critical because this is what gets eyes on us. Casting based on who delivers on camera.
SKETCH TROUPE (Performers/Improv)
Join the core group building a local sketch comedy troupe. Weekly rehearsals, improv work, skill development, and creating alternative sketches together. I'll produce you and give you a platform to perform. Build team chemistry and grow as performers. You can perform as a group outside of the web series production structure.
You can pursue the web series only, troupe only, or both.
THE DEAL:
Season 1 is unpaid except for the listed amenities - pure ground floor collaboration. If the web series takes off and monetizes (Season 2+), performers will participate in an amount of shared profits. The objective is to continue to make more web comedy content to sustain profits. As my production company expands into commercial work, you ideally have the opportunity to be first call for paid gigs (this is also a networking opportunity).
This is your chance to be part of something from day one that could actually go somewhere. Further out, plans could expand past a sketch comedy series.
RESPOND WITH:
Your performance background
Links to performance videos you might have online, or send them
Performance video must feature YOU performing material IN YOUR OWN VOICE (lip-sync content, reaction videos, and duets will not be considered)
What interests you (web series, troupe, or both)
