We are excited to announce that BCT will be accepting video auditions starting Thursday, July 1st 2021 for performers who want to take part in our next creative project: BCT SHORTS: Volume 3- A Laugh A Day!
This is an online festival of one act plays and we’d love to see you get involved!
What are BCT Shorts?
BCT Shorts is the name of the annual BCT Fringe Festival in the time of Covid-19. For Volume 3, we have put together a series of one-act plays that are all lighthearted/comedies and under 10 minutes long. However, rather than performing them in a theatre as we have done in previous years, BCT SHORTS Volume 3 will be filmed on ZOOM and streamed online on the BCT YouTube channel for free. The staging is minimal, the creativity is maximum and we aim to create a supportive environment for everyone involved. Rehearsals will take place over the summer and we hope to release the films at the end of August or early September.
Essentially, BCT Shorts Volume 3 will be a great opportunity for anyone who wants to perform, including those who are new to performing, haven't done it for a while or are just a bit nervous — as it is designed to give those people a fun way into acting with BCT. That said, we also love to have experienced actors and veteran BCT members involved too! Especially those whose busy schedules preclude them from joining larger productions.
Great! But who can audition?
There are lots of plays to be cast so there are plenty of roles available and they are suitable for anyone over 18 who can cope with an English language script. English does NOT have to be your first language. Enthusiasm is more important than experience so we don’t care if you’ve never acted before. Some of the plays have mature content and language; the minimum age for this production is 18 years old and several plays require ‘mature’ performers.
What's more, since the plays will be rehearsed and shot entirely online, you can be involved whether you are currently in Bangkok, stuck in quarantine or on summer holidays outside of the city. Several of our directors will be working remotely, too.
That's me! How do I audition?
Given the prevalence of Covid-19 in Bangkok, there will be no live auditions; casting will be done entirely from short video submissions.
To register for auditions and receive our audition pack including a link to all the plays that we will be casting, please email: shorts@bangkokcommunitytheatre.com
We will confirm your registration and provide you with an audition form as well as a list of the plays and characters and more details about what you need to include in your video audition.
Please do share this information with anyone you know who might be interested in auditioning. And please register right away. The final deadline for video submission is July 14th but we encourage you to register and submit your audition video asap.
