DramaTech Announces Auditions for Art is Useless When You’re Being Mauled by a Bear by Alisa Tangredi
Monday, August 31 and Tuesday, September 1 from 6 – 9 pm.
About the Show: A haunting and darkly whimsical exploration of grief, guilt, and survival, ART IS USELESS WHEN YOU’RE BEING MAULED BY A BEAR follows one woman’s fantastical descent through memory, madness, and the stories we tell ourselves to endure loss. Along the way, she encounters creatures both real and imagined—some seemingly torn from a Grimms’ fairy tale—as she is forced toward an inescapable truth. Strange, unsettling, and unexpectedly powerful, this surreal journey asks what remains when art, reason, and reality begin to slip away. And yes, there is a bear.
Auditions will take place at DramaTech Theatre on Monday and Tuesday from 6-9 pm. You only need to one day of auditions. To read the script (which we highly recommend), click here.

IN ADDITION, we are seeking one actress for our production of anthropology to play the role of Angie. This is being cast early because we will be creating the technology used in the show and will need to create a digital version of the actor’s voice and likeness earlier in the process. If you are interested in being cast in this role, please read the script and let the stage manager know at auditions. There will be a separate callback held for this role.
About the Show:
The hive is growing restless, and the queen is growing old. To Serve the Hive follows a hive of honeybees under threat of climate change, starvation, and political revolution as they crown a new queen.
About the Project:
With the help of a GT Arts Microgrant, director Charis Sellick and playwright Julia Byrne are producing a staged reading of To Serve the Hive with a mix of student and professional actors.
This is a short-term, low-commitment project – 4 evening rehearsals and 1 performance in the month of October. All actors will be on book.
We’re looking for 3-4 student performers, an assistant director and/or stage manager. Submit the audition/interest form by 11pm on 9/13 to be considered.
If you’re interested in a smaller project, making theater alongside professionals, or honey, this project is for you!
If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to Julia Byrne at jbyrne39@gatech.edu.
