(the) Unruly Theatre Project 26-27 Auditions

Registration

(the) Unruly Theatre Project is The Alden’s professional teen improv company dedicated to bringing comedic performances to the community. Members audition to be in the company for one season (late Sept-May) and are paid for each performance or workshop they do for the community.

Company members rehearse twice per week on Tuesday and Thursday from 7-9:00 p.m. Performances will be at local venues such as art galleries, the Old Firehouse Center, cafés and more. Because UTP is a professional opportunity, attendance is crucial and company members serve different roles including marketing, stage management and photography.

9th-12th graders only.

Tuesday Sept. 15, 7-9:00 p.m. open auditions
Wednesday Sept. 16, 7-9:00 p.m. open auditions

At the Alden, 1234 Ingleside Ave, Mclean, VA 22101
