Bump in the Night Theatre Company is looking for a wide range of performers to participate in our monthly play reading series, “Campfire Nights.” This series celebrates new short horror plays in a fun and casual event in venues around the city.
Each event will feature different plays with different casting needs.
Each month we will send out a casting notice to our group of actors with the plays and roles needed. If you fit a role we need filled and are available at that month’s event, you can sign up as a reader. Each event is a one night commitment.
To join the casting group, please send a headshot/resume (or whatever you got) to bumpinthenightchi@gmail.com. Visit bumpinthenightchi.com for more information about the company and upcoming projects.
