Meteor Night!-Acting Opportunity

Return to Calendar

Saturday, June 17th 2023

Location: Burton Leavitt Theatre

The WTG is looking for actors to participate in Meteor Night on June 16th and 17th.

Meteor Night is a “play in a day” theatrical workshop experience, which produces original works in 24 hours. Actors, writers, and directors are brought together at 8:00pm on June 16th, and a show is written, rehearsed, and opens June 17th at 8:00pm. The pieces are 10-minute plays with groups that are usually working together for the first time. It’s an exciting process that exercises theatrical disciplines. It’s a great way for creative people in our community to scratch their creative itch in one day - especially those who have schedules that might not allow for work on new pieces.

Our theme for this year, being our fourth year and second at the Burton Leavitt Theatre, is “Four Sheets.” This year we will have eight writers, two more than our usual six, and only four directors. The groups will also consist of two to three actors. There are varying levels of experience within the groups, but all of them need to work under time constraints with a showtime of 8:00pm on Saturday, June 17th.

This is an exclusive experience that no one else will ever have. These shows do not exist yet, and will be created explicitly for the audience on Saturday, June 17th. There will be plenty to think about and laugh about after the show - although we always “warn” that this show is generally for mature audiences.
