IT'S TIME TO AUDITION FOR HAMMERKATZ SKETCH COMEDY
Everything you should need to know about the auditions SHOULD be all here in this post. We hope everyone comes to check it out!
We will be bringing on a group of writer/performers, if you want to write for Hammerkatz but don't want to perform, please come to the audition and let us know you'd rather be a writer. If you want to be a performer, we will still be asking for a writing submission, however, we will take that into account.
Two things are required for the audition. One, we are asking for a writing submission from everyone. This writing submission (which should be comedy) can be anything ranging from as little as two one line sketch premises, or as much as 5 pages of scripted material. We're really looking at the basic ideas of what is submitted which is why we're happy to accept simple one line premises, however, if you've written before, we'd love to see a sample of your best stuff... just please try to limit it to five pages. Please either bring this to the audition, or email it whenever you're ready to
hammerkatznyu@gmail.com.
The second part of the audition will be a performance audition. It will be a cold reading of two old sketches, you'll have some time to familiarize yourself with the sketches before the audition.
