Book an Audition
We have an open audition policy so that actors at any stage in their career can audition. At auditions for The Antipodes, we are primarily looking for strong storytellers. Please prepare a 60-second monologue in the style of the show. Or if you really want a challenge, just come tell us a really good story. It can be from a play, a folksong, a myth, as long as you can tell it convincingly.
IMPORTANT
All auditions will take place at the Mid Valley Performing Arts Center. The address is:
2525 Taylorsville Blvd.
Taylorsville, Utah 84129
A group of people sit around a table telling, cataloging, and theorizing stories. Their purpose is never clear: are they brainstorming ideas for a TV show? A film? A mythology? This is a world where ghostly fables coexist with mundane discussions of snacks and sexual exploits, where the vague instruction to tell stories about." Something monstrous" though " it might not be a literal monster" becomes maddeningly impossible. Part satire, part-sacred rite, The Antipodes asks what value stories have for a world in crisis.
Please be advised, this script discusses various adult themes including sex, suicide, & strong language.
