Production Information:
Show: A Very Deadly Constructivists Holiday
Directed by: TBD
Performance Dates: December 5th - 14th, 2024
Venue: Broadway Theatre Center, 158 N. Broadway, Milwaukee, WI
About the Show: Join us for a holiday experience like no other—where the unexpected and the eerie blend with festive cheer. A Very Deadly Constructivists Holiday is an ensemble-devised work, rich with dark humor, suspense, and the twists that define The Constructivists' unique theatrical style.
Roles Available: We are seeking actors of all genders, ages, and ethnicities. This is an ensemble-driven production, so actors must be comfortable with collaboration, improvisation, and helping to shape their characters.
Stipend: $200. Yes, we know that sucks. But what sucks more is that Wisconsin ranks 49th in state funding for the arts, and how that negatively affects small independent storefront arts companies like ours. As we continually work toward increasing our funding, we will be able to pay artists a more equitable stipend for their work.
Important Dates:
Rehearsals: November 2024, days/times TBD based on artist availability
Tech Week: December 1st - 4th, 2024
Performance Dates: December 5th - 14th, 2024
We look forward to your submissions and the possibility of working together to create something unforgettable this holiday season!
