Gag Reflex Austin will be holding auditions Sunday, Nov. 18 from 7-9 p.m. for its Hyde Park Theater New Year's Eve bash. We're looking for a versatile male featured player who can take on many different roles within the course of a 2-hour sketch comedy show. Singing ability (or at least the ability to sell a song) is important.

Gag Reflex Austin has been performing throughout central Texas and at comedy festivals including Chicago and Washington D.C. for the past six years. We are an offshoot of the original Gag Reflex company which was founded 13 years ago and is still performing in and around Chicago.

Rehearsals will begin smack at the end of November (there will be no rehearsal right around Christmas).

Please check out our Web site: http://www.gagplanet.com/austin and then send an e-mail message to auditions@gagplanet.com with the following:

1. A short letter of introduction (please include your comedy influences/favorites/what makes you laugh)
2. A resume (if you've got one, if not, don't sweat it)
3. An attached headshot or other photo

We will contact you, if interested, to give you further details about auditions, including location.

Thanks!
