About This Activity
Register for a VIDEO audition for “The Rules of Comedy,” the first show of PYT’s new Studio Shows program. ***PLEASE NOTE: We STRONGLY recommend auditioning IN PERSON if you can. Your performance will read better and the director will have a chance to see you work with other actors. Only use this option if you CANNOT attend the in-person audition. PERFORMANCE: August 28, 2026 Get ready to fall down (on purpose!), nail a take, and make a room full of people laugh, then pivot straight into one of the most gut-wrenching stories ever written. This experienced performer opportunity is all about building physical comedy chops: timing, exaggeration, slapstick, reaction work, and the kind of fearless, full-body commitment that makes comedy land. You'll train and perform as a true ensemble, developing the trust, listening, and split-second responsiveness that physical comedy demands, all while sinking your teeth into Shakespeare's language and stakes. This showcase will be performed at the PYT studio with minimal sets and costumes, keeping the spotlight exactly where it belongs: on the acting. Who should audition: Actors ages 10–18 ready to get physical, get silly, and get serious about their craft, all in the same scene. Commitment: This is a limited-cast opportunity with a focused, fast-paced rehearsal process. Rehearsals will run Tuesday-Friday, 6:30-9:00 PM, and Saturday mornings, 10:00 AM-1:00 PM. Please ensure you can commit to this schedule before auditioning. Casting: Because cast size is limited, not all who audition are guaranteed a role. We encourage all interested, experienced actors to audition.
