One of Chattanooga’s newest (and funniest) sketch production companies is gearing up for 2014, and they might need your help.

In a release today, Evatt & Bloom’s Joel Ruiz is seeking writers and actors to work on comedic sketches for the 2014 season.

Auditions will be held Jan. 20 at the Heritage House Arts and Civic Center from 7 to 9 p.m. as a part of The Backlot series.

The only requirements, according to the release, are that actors be at least 18.

But being funny helps, too, according to Ruiz.

“Comedy experience is a plus, but we are willing to work with anyone who would like to try,” he said. “For writers, we are looking for people to write original scripts, as well as collaborate with myself and any others we bring on.”

Evatt & Bloom productions are a “group undertaking,” according to the release, and the company is hoping to find more people to be involved in all behind-the-scenes aspects.

Four scripts will be provided for auditions. Script sides can be obtained early via email at [email protected]. Use “sides request” in the subject line.

Potential writers are encouraged to email sample scripts or treatments for consideration. Use “writer application” as the subject line.

Ruiz created Evatt & Bloom in 2013. The company has produced a series of comedic shorts and live comedy shows.
