Casting Call for Boys and Girls for "The Con" Show

About the project: In this hilarious heist whodunit, a rare first-issue comic is up for grabs.

There’s a bat-tastic hero clowning around with his foe in “The LARP Knight Rises,” a video game menace who loses it in more ways than one in “A Plumber Cracks,” a D&D newbie who wants to let her inner gnome shine in “The Ballad of Lena Moonfallen,” some costumed competitors who will stop at nothing to complete their quartet in “Cosplaying with Fire,” and much more. Keep your audience laughing and guessing with this clever Comic Con caper! Additional info: Please prepare a 45-second to 1-minute monologue displaying a unique character. Be prepared to take direction to modify your monologue and or character. Rehearsals every Tuesday from 6:30-9:30 PM.
