GENERAL INFO

 

LIT conducts its annual open-call auditions for its house teams, performance classes, writers' rooms, special projects and other programs in July.

 

We're looking for more than just comedic talent in our players — we're looking for the LIT fit.  We're devoted to fostering a positive, supportive environment that is inclusive and develops the skills and resumes of its players.  We want performers who believe in this as much as we do. 

​

We are holding auditions for:  stand-ups, storytellers, poets, actors, playwrights, sketch writers & performers, screenwriters, satire writers and various improv teams (musical, long-form & short-form).  

​

Individual performers at any level and of all types are encouraged to audition.
