BREAKDOWN
The House:
All shows at The House are original works which contain a great deal of physicality and spectacle. Artists are often required to sing, dance, perform puppetry, participate in scene changes, play live music, and learn and execute extensive choreography and stage combat, for the purposes of amazing feats of storytelling.
At The House, we focus on original storytelling. Please feel free to include any of the above methods -- or your own method of storytelling -- in your audition. Thank you, and we look forward to seeing your work.
