South Bay Tabletop Theatre is seeking stage, voice, and improv actors for our upcoming actual play performances. Actors will roleplay characters in an original fantasy adventure on stage with a live audience. No previous roleplaying game experience necessary. We encourage performers of any age, race, ethnicity, gender identity, body type, disability, and experience level to audition.

 The ideal performer is a generous scene partner who embraces spontaneity, commits fully to a character, can take and pass the spotlight, and can balance comedy, drama, and emotional authenticity via unscripted performance in front of a live audience.

• Step 2: Sign up for a 45-minute slot for your in-person audition. Within a few days of signing-up, you will be emailed a character sheet with any additional instructions and preparation needed. At the audition, you will use this character to roleplay at a table with a Game Master and the other actors portraying their characters.

• Step 3: Attend the audition during your time slot. Bring a paper copy of your resume and headshot (if you did not submit one with the audition form) and any conflicts you may have in January and February. Spend time thinking about how you might portray the character you’ve been given. Create and bring a short description of your character as they might be seen by others.
