The Neon Venus Improv Troupe and Teams (Auditions and Shows)
We're looking to form Neon Venus Improv teams, which will do a monthly showcase at our venue for the public and the industry.
We will set up an audition with you, just let us know how much Improv training you have had. Tell us the schools and class levels that you have passed.
We would like to meet actors who have had Improv training, but have yet to find teams to perform in venues around town. If you would like to audition, please email me at neonvenusarttheatre@yahoo.com
Right now many teams from local Improv schools perform weekend performances from 7pm to midnight, some teams also perform during the week.
Our venue has a great warm and intimate vibe, and Improv groups enjoy their performances at our space. We're looking for the stars of the future, and are striving to bring the public and the industry quality performances, as well as to start our own house teams.
There will be no membership, dues, classes or sales of tickets, though part of the training will include promotion of shows (cause it's Show BUSINESS!).
Thank you! Lissette --Co-Owner - Neon Venus Art Theatre
