We’re holding auditions for Spin the Bottle written by Ciarán Volke and directed by Nathan Corpus, a co-production between Theatre SKAM and iuvenis productions.
This summer, Theatre SKAM and iuvenis Productions are teaming up to co-produce Spin The Bottle by Ciarán Volke. We’re seeking youth ages 15-18 who are passionate about theatre and eager to get a taste of what it’s like to be an actor living and working in Victoria. Additionally, we are seeking one youth interested in the behind-the-scenes action to fill the role of stage manager. A ten-minute section of the show will be featured at our annual SKAMpede, presented alongside professional artists from across the country. The full show will then have six performances at the SKAM Satellite Studio. As a profit-share show, all box-office revenue will be split amongst the cast and SM.
About the Play: Avery is throwing her first high school boy-girl party and has invited the whole school. But when only four people show up, they have to make do. Tempers rise, secrets are revealed, and awkward flirting is abound. This coming of age story gives us a peek at the awkwardness of early (queer) love, friendship, and growing up.
Characters: Avery – 16. Party host. She desperately wants the night to go well and for everyone to get along.
Lily – 16. Avery’s best friend. Opinionated and defensive.
Louise – 16. Avery’s old best friend. A theatre kid who is jealous of Avery and Lily’s new friendship.
Ben – 16. Basketball player. A bit oblivious, has a crush on Avery.
James – 16. Ben’s friend. Has a crush on Lily but is nervous to talk to her.
