Audition for the first Walker Teams Saturday, June 17, 2017 The goal of this program is to support writing at DCH by creating sketch house teams. In short, what Ewing teams did for improvisation, Walker teams will do for sketch. Each month, these teams will put up a 20-25 minute sketch show. They’ll perform that sketch show twice, then they’ll immediately get to work on the next one. The casts of these teams will be reviewed each term, so you can step away after two months or stick with the team. We will continue to hold auditions for more Walker teams throughout the year. Teams will meet once a week and will pay a coaching fee similar to that of a Ewing team. Auditions for Walker teams will be held on Saturday, June 17, 2017.
And, yes, it’s named after Walker: Texas Ranger. Info About the New Sketch Revue Process Many of you have asked about the next round of sketch auditions. We're going to try something new for the next few rounds. For the sketch show opening in late August, we decided to let the director choose her cast. Her primary focus was to choose performers with writing skills and unique performance abilities. For the next few shows, we're going to give this option a go, rather than holding auditions, and we will evaluate the results to decide how we proceed in the future. So what's the best way to get noticed for a sketch revue? Continue to do great work. Most directors will look for performers who have completed the writing program and/or have an extensive comedy writing background. They're also looking for strong actors, as the show is written and performed by the same group of people. Take advantage of stage time whenever you can so you can continue to sharpen the saw.
