ENRON was a real oil and gas company in the 1990s that famously inflated itself to a massive size by claiming profits that had never really existed. This play tells the story of the fall of Enron, its dastardly executives, and its many, many shadowy shell companies. It's a classic epic of hubris and comeuppance transformed with the help of dinosaurs, puppets, singing analysts, dancing traders, and snappy dialogue into a modern dark comedy pageant.

Audition Process: Each audition slot will contain 12 or fewer actors. During the audition you will be assigned sides, which are linked below. Ideally, you and your scene partner(s) will be given a short amount of time to work on the sides together before performing them in front of the group. However it is possible we will not have time for this, so please read and familiarize yourself with the sides before arriving. It is not necessary to memorize any of the sides. If there is a side you would especially like to read, please note that on your audition form and we will try to accommodate your request. We are not requesting monologues for this audition.
There are roles in this show that require the ability to sing harmony in a group, a cappella. If you are interested in a singing role, please indicate your singing ability on your audition form. We are not requesting that you prepare a song for your audition.
