SUBMISSIONS FOR DRUNK SHAKESPEARE PHX 2026

Every evening, a group of five skilled performers, members of 'The Drunk Shakespeare Society,' gather to put on a mesmerizing play. But here's the thrilling twist: one among them bravely indulges in multiple shots of liquid courage, setting the stage for an unforgettable performance.

We're on the lookout for an eclectic mix of performers, each bringing their unique flair and artistic prowess to our ensemble. No matter your background or identity, we invite you to apply for roles that interest and excite you. 

NOTE: Cast members are required to drink onstage approximately once per week. Strict drinking guidelines will be adhered to. Our current show is Drunk Romeo and Juliet, but upcoming shows include Drunk Pirates, Drunk Dracula and Drunk Christmas Carol. All roles are ensemble-based and all actors learn multiple tracks. 

Submission due date is 7/13. Auditions (chosen from pre-screens) will be 7/27.

SEEKING:

TRACK 1: Romeo / Dracula / Scrooge / Long John Silver - Commanding, with charm, swagger, and major leading role presence. This track moves from full-throttle romantic to supernatural seducer, bitter holiday icon, and charming pirate manipulator. 

TRACK 2: Juliet / Mina / Cindy Lou / Jim - Bright, and emotionally open. Anchors the chaos with truth. This track moves from rebellious young romantic to intelligent gothic heroine, heart-forward holiday optimist, and scrappy young adventurer. 

TRACK 3: Montague / Harker / Cratchit / Dr. Livesey - A versatile character with big feelings, precise comedy, and the ability to spiral beautifully. This track covers overwhelmed gothic sincerity, holiday optimism under pressure, medical reason barely holding it together, and a chaotic best friend.

TRACK 4: Capulet / Professor Buffy Van Yuengling / Marley / Captain Keira Knightley - Bold, and high-impact, who enters like a force of nature and transforms constantly. This track moves through authority figures, vampireslaying pop culture chaos, ghosts, objects, cameos, and celebrity pirate confidence. 

Host: Host / Prince / Ensemble / Villains / Parrot / Narrator / Ghosts - The engine of the show and the glue holding everything together. Guides the audience, steers the chaos, jumps between characters and impressions, and keeps the room fully engaged from start to finish. A confident improviser with strong audience instincts, rapid-fire comedic energy, and a natural command of the room.
