Audition for Sansculottes

Sansculottes is now accepting headshots and resumes for Tom Horan's 13 Dead Husbands, to be directed by Dan Kerr-Hobert. The production will be at the Storefront Theater, running from February 29 to March 30, 2008.

We're seeking one extraordinarily charming woman (20–30) and several men of diverse backgrounds. Experience in physical theater, dance, or circus is a plus. In lieu of a standard monologue, please prepare one of the following pieces from the script, and come prepared for cold reads as well.

If you would like to be considered for 13 Dead Husbands, send your headshot and resume (firmly attached to each other, please) to

Tom Horan, Artistic Director
Sansculottes Theater Company
P.O. Box 256570
Chicago, IL 60625-6570

We'll call you or e-mail you to set up an audition time.

Please do not e-mail your headshot and resume to us, no matter how much you seem like the exception to the rule. We just don't have the bandwidth to handle that. If you think e-mail is the only way to beat the audition deadline, please send a quick (photo-less) e-mail inquiry explaining your interest, or call us at 773-540-3576. We like to meet new actors, and we'll do everything we can to work you into the audition schedule.

A Few General Notes

Any time you want to mail us an updated headshot and resume, let us know about a show you're in, or just say hi, you're welcome to do so! Use the address above.

One of the best ways to introduce yourself to the company is to come read at our annual festival of one-act plays, No Pants, Just Shorts. We'll give you a 10-second monologue, and it will be seen by all the company members as well as three notable Chicago directors. (This, we feel, is the way to audition: surrounded by friends, using very brief material that's guaranteed to be unique, with beer involved.)

We often have industry tickets for our productions. E-mail tickets@sansculottes.org for details or reservations (note that e-mail reservations stop 24 hours in advance of a given performance).
