Audition Information


Do I have to have experience to audition?

YES! You must have at least 1 year of improv experience to audition. If you qualify and would like to be a part of our troupe, come to an audition and show us what you've got!

Is there an age requirement?

YES! You must be at least 18 years of age and out of high school.

What kind of players for the troupe are you looking for?

We are looking for people who have a desire to perform, can commit to the schedule and shows, are not easily offended, get along easily with others, can laugh at themselves, want to entertain, are confident, can follow direction, give constructive input, have experience in improv, and do whatever it takes to improve their acting/improv skills.

What kind of commitment would I need to make if I joined the troupe?

Twisted Gray Matter has a minimum of 4 shows scheduled per year. Troupe members would be expected to do at least 3 scheduled shows plus other shows at various venues, improv competitions and festivals. Specific information of dates and times of meetings and practices will be made available at auditions. We are also in the process of acquiring a home base theater where our number of performances will increase.

How does the troupe audition process work?

  1. Send an email to us to let us know you are coming (use email icon below)
  2. Print and fill out the application below and bring it to the audition.
  3. Come to auditions and have fun! Please be on time!!!

You will work in a group to warm up, play different improv games, do scenes, and see how you take direction and play with others. It's a lot of fun so make sure you dress in something that moves!


No later than 10 days after the audition, the director will contact you and let you know if you are invited to join the troupe, invited to a callback session, or invited to join of of our classes. If you are invited to a callback, you will do more improv games so we can get to know you a little better. The day after callbacks, the director will contact you to either invite you to join the troupe or join another class. 

Do I need to prepare for the audition?

Nope...it is Improv after all!! But please bring a snapshot of yourself to attach to your audition application. (A simple snapshot will do, no need for a headshot)

Where will the auditions take place? 

Auditions will be held at the Front Row Theater in San Ramon: 17011 Bollinger Canyon Road. See our main website for directions to the theater. www.SanRamonImprovU.com
