CURRENT CASTING OPPORTUNITIES

STAND-UP COMEDIANS

Rimo Vision Group is excited to announce an opportunity for stand-up comedians to showcase their talent at our forthcoming Comedy Night Fundraiser. We invite both emerging and established comedians to contribute to the success of this vibrant event, taking place at Second Story Theatre, located in Hermosa Beach, California. The event is currently set to be on Saturday, 12/07/2024.

We are curating a diverse lineup of performances and are interested in featuring both clean and adult comedic material. Selected comedians will be allotted a performance slot of 10 minutes. The event schedule is structured into two sessions: the first session, from 7 PM to 8:30 PM, and the second session, from 9 PM to 10:30 AM.

This is a holiday-themed show, so material related to the holidays (of all faiths) is highly encouraged.

(While your entire set doesn’t need to focus on the holidays, we’d love to hear a few jokes on the theme!)

Failure to meet this requirement will result in forfeiture of the performance opportunity. Tickets must be sold a week before the event.

Please be advised that segments of the event will be professionally recorded for promotional purposes. Rest assured, due credit will be attributed to the performers featured in the marketing material, and you will be provided with a video for your own use.

Please read carefully the following statement:

Please note that RimoVision Group is entering agreements directly with performers and not through agents or representatives. If you are represented by a managing agent, we strongly advise consulting with them before agreeing to participate. We allocate a portion of our budget to marketing and printing, and any withdrawal from a commitment after being included in the lineup incurs additional costs for adjustments. As this event is a fundraiser aimed at supporting our production efforts, withdrawing contradicts the purpose of the event. We appreciate your cooperation in ensuring the success of this initiative.

ACTORS (Deadline 6/17/2024)

We are seeking two swings for our upcoming show: one male or trans male actor, and one female or trans female actress. Each swing will need to memorize several roles. Please note that as swings, there is no guarantee of live performance. Attendance at all rehearsals is mandatory.

You will be paid regardless if you have participated or not in any live performance.

Storyline:

In the year 2062, "Disconnected" unfolds in a world where humanity and society have evolved distinctly. In the Americas and Europe, every need and whim is catered to by AI and robots, supported by a Universal salary. However, an unexpected turn of events shatters this reality when everyone wakes up to a silent, technology-free world, as though a mysterious force has reset humanity. Experience this dark comedy at Hermosa Beach's Second Story Theatre, presented by RimoVision Group.
