What happens at an ExAb Troupe Audition?

Before the audition: Dress in clothing that’s easy to move around in, bring a full water bottle, and be able to answer questions about your schedule/availability. There is no need to prepare any material.
The audition will begin with information about how troupes operate followed by a group warm up. We will ask small groups to run directed scenes and games. It’s low-pressure and fun, we promise!
Our goal is to create groups of creative collaborators who enjoy making people laugh as a team and casting choices are based as much on chemistry as they are on experience or skill level. Just be yourself and we will try to build troupes based on who works best together.

What happens in an ExAb Improv Troupe?

Through the audition process, ExAb’s Faculty establish small groups of youth improvisers to perform specific formats or genres of show.
Casting is based on group chemistry, experience, ability, availability, and focus/maturity level. We seek to create troupes that work well together and have the ability to build specific shows together.
Troupes rehearse with a coach weekly (schedules can vary) to create a specific format for performance.
Troupe members pay a coaching fee that is the equivalent of tuition.
Rehearsal times are based on troupe member availability.
Troupes differ from classes in that the focus is on creating a specific type of show rather than building general skills.
We often recommend that students continue to take classes while performing with a troupe to insure that they are growing as performers in addition to preparing for specific shows.
Some troupes continue for years, exploring a variety of formats and working with different coaches/directors. Others rehearse and perform a specific show and move on.
Troupes perform at ExAb All Ages Shows, ExAb Fest, and may have additional shows at other theatres or festivals when possible.
