About the Show: The holiday season isn’t always filled with generosity, warmth, and cheer. A Very Deadly Constructivists Holiday is an ensemble-devised work that highlights the stories of those on their worst behavior during this festive season. Rich with irreverent humor, scandalous stories, and holiday carols (with a twist!) this alternative holiday programming reminds us to please not be an asshole.

Roles Available: We are seeking 5 actors of all genders, ages, and ethnicities. This is an ensemble-driven production, so actors must be comfortable with collaboration, improvisation, and helping to shape their characters.

Stipend: $200. Funding for the arts is more difficult now than ever to come by. As we continually work toward increasing our funding, we will be able to pay artists a more equitable stipend for their work.

Important Dates:

  • Rehearsals: November 10 - 13 December 2025, Monday-Thursday Eve, and Saturday daytime, times TBD

  • Performance Dates: December 18th - 20th, 2025

We look forward to your submissions and the possibility of working together to create something unforgettable this holiday season!
