TYPE CAST
The roles we weren't born to play.
The cast of TYPE CAST will each bring in a recent audition breakdown they received, put them in a hat, and each choose a character they’ll get to portray in this 30-minute narrative improv set. With help from the audience, we’ll present a mashup of character and genre tropes led by the roles we weren’t born to play.
