Auditions for Close Quarters
January 7-8, 2026
Callbacks: January 10, 2026
All people aged 18+ are welcome to audition!
About Close Quarters: Picture, if you will, a typical scene of American domesticity: a cozy apartment, a loving couple, and the wall-to-wall ghosts who haunt their every move. You, the audience, will play the role of the many ghosts who fill the apartment of the unfortunate couple. You’ll watch them live, love, and attempt to build a life around the towering impediment that is you. Your hosts will be two fellow members of the dearly departed. Will you aid in their efforts to rid the apartment of the living residents? Will you defy them in defense of the living? And most importantly, will you survive the exorcisms?
Written by Abby Auman. Directed by Jason Phillips. Improv Direction / Coaching by Katie Jones. This play combines scripted and improvised scenes and audience interaction.
