WHAT ABOUT HOUSE TEAMS?
Most of the shows at the BCC are submission based, as we find the competitive nature of holding too many auditions antithetical to the core BCC ethos. We want people to find their people they love to create with, practice with one another, and then submit to the BCC for consideration. We believe this approach empowers members of the BCC Community to make meaningful connections and, ultimately, produces better comedy.
Our weekly shows Demon Time and What Makes You Laugh feature seasoned BCC Performers and are cast at the discretion of The Artistic Director and Associate Director. In general, we add cast members a few times a year to those shows. Casting is done by inviting performers recommended to us by members of our community (teachers, staff, hosts at the jams, and our Artistic/Associate Director) to guest on the show and see if they’re a good fit with the cast, both from a performance and interpersonal standpoint.
We also invite outstanding existing teams to audition to play on Home Teams, our weekly improv show on Tuesdays before the jam. Home Teams is both an opportunity to showcase experienced improv teams and to provide a platform for up-and-coming teams to get stage reps. Shows are booked for Home Teams via invite-only auditions every three months, cast by Artistic Director Philip Markle, Associate Director Maya Sharma, and Producer Marissa Moorhead.
We also hold yearly open auditions for our annual Mainstage Residency, which features a cast of 8 performers creating an original revue through improvisation for a multiple-month run on Saturday nights at the theater. For more information, visit here.
Other performance opportunities include Babes, our submission-based weekly student/grad improv team show designed to help you get in reps.
There’s free community events every week at BCC, such as our weekly open mics and improv jams.
We invite you to submit your show for consideration to BCC, or submit your team to open for/perform in our weekly shows.
Come be a part of our community!
