Bare Bones Improv and Riverwalk Theatre are seeking 12 performers for The Skeleton Crew, our official house-style performance team for the late 2026 season. This is not just a cast. It’s a cohort. We are looking for improvisers who are collaborative, coachable, supportive, reliable, and excited to build something together.
AUDITION INFORMATION

In addition to Riverwalk performances, members of The Skeleton Crew may also be tapped intermittently for Bare Bones-affiliated events and special performances throughout 2026, and may qualify for participation in an improv festival competition team in 2027.
Selected performers will be expected to regularly attend Open Swim on Tuesdays and participate in one additional weekly rehearsal, scheduled based on cast availability after auditions.
Whether you’re experienced or just ready to take the leap into performing more consistently, we want to see you audition.
