Mighty Real Casting Call 2024

Mighty Real: A Sketch Variety Show returns for its third year!

The cast of In Living Color, the sketch comedy inspiration for Mighty Real.

Presented by community social group ItsQwere, Mighty Real is a live stage production of scripted comedy, song, costume, and dance written, styled and performed by queer artists of color. For 2024, the theme is “must see TV”, spoofing shows like Game of Thrones, Judge Judy, and Abbott Elementary.

The mission of ItsQwere is to create events that welcome all while celebrating historically overlooked narratives: voices of Black & Brown LGBTQ, transgender & non-binary folks, women & femmes, plus-size bodies, and people living with disabilities. Learn more about us on our website here.

We’re looking for 6 performers with on-stage experience in comedic plays, improv, and/or sketch comedy. Experience in singing and/or movement is encouraged, but not required. Audition sides will be provided at the audition. No need to prepare a monologue.

Auditions will be held in person on Sunday, May 19th, 1:00 PM - 4:00 PM in San Francisco. If you cannot attend in person but are interested in auditioning, please visit the Audition Info link.
