About the Show

Eight funny, moving short plays, about the South Asian immigrant experience in America. OS2 follows the successful first edition of Our Stories, staged in Dec 2021. The short plays in OS2 are all new.

Auditions

In-person auditions will be held on July 29 & 30, at our rehearsal studio at 1585 N. 4th Street, Unit I, San Jose 95112. If you are interested in auditioning but are not available on these dates, please indicate this in the Audition Form.

Monologue auditions will be held the morning of July 29. Each auditionee will be given an individual slot for their monologue audition.  The monologue should be under 2 minutes, comedic and in English or Tamil based on which cast you want to be considered for. 

Auditionees who are successful in this stage of the audition will be invited to Callbacks, on July 30 at 10am (English) and 2pm (Tamil).  At Callbacks, auditionees will read from the play’s script along with other auditionees.

Actors who have been in the cast of a recent BADCo production may come straight to Callbacks but they must still fill out the Audition Form.

Please submit your audition form to receive further instructions about the audition process.
