ℹ️ 🎥 ABOUT SUPER SCENE:
Super Scene is an audience-driven narrative improv format where within a show, each performer directs one story and acts in the others. It is a playful approach to narrative longform that gives performers the chance to act and direct longer stories and work heavily in genres.
Performers take turns:
Directing a story and establishing its premise, tone, genre, and world
Acting in each other’s scenes
Playing with genre, stakes, tension, and cliffhangers
Inviting the audience to choose which stories continues
As the show progresses, stories are eliminated until one final Super Scene remains.
We’re looking for performers with narrative experience who bring strong potential, curiosity, and commitment. Specifically, we seeking performers who are excited about:
Narrative improv and world-building
Genre play (film/TV/book styles, tropes, tones)
Emotional commitment and clear character points of view
Directing scenes with clarity and playfulness
Supporting ensemble storytelling
Consistent rehearsal and performance commitments
If you love story, genre, and collaborative play, we’d love to see what you bring!
