Neko Squared is a group of dedicated performers who present interactive escape rooms, theater and games to conventions, such as Project A-kon, as well as independent events. Currently we are looking for more actors and actresses to perform alongside our current cast for our third year in a row!
We will be meeting together for in-person rehearsals and fun get-togethers as well as web rehearsals leading up to each performance date. In addition to this there will be online challenges, quizzes, online events, and updates to keep you involved!
To audition please answer the following questions in video format (avi, wmv, mpg and mp4 files only please) as well as present your chosen monologue (of 1-2 minutes in length) and e-mail them to nekosquaredauditions@gmail.com by August 22nd, 2017.
1. Introduce yourself!
2. Are you 18 years old or over?
3. Which city and state are you located in?
4. Are you willing and able to travel to the DFW area for rehearsal and performances?
5. Please tell us a bit about your previous theater experience.
6. Do you have any interesting or unusual talents, speak any languages other than English, have any skills you would like to tell us about ?
7. Keep in mind that while a lot of fun Neko Squared requires dedication and effort so we would ask that during cons you will be performing with us that this will be your first priority. Do you agree and understand?
8. Do you understand that this is a volunteer position and therefore unpaid?
9. Please present your chosen monologue of 1-2 minutes in length. Break a leg!"
Please leave feedback on any panels you liked (or didn't like)! This will help us decide on the programming attendees want for next year. Please fill out a separate form for each panel.
Later this week we will have an official feedback survey and a special surprise!
