Riot X is looking to grow as a company that is diverse and inclusive, welcoming people of any race, ethnicity, gender, orientation, age, size, and ability to audition.
Riot X is Riot Theatre’s experimental ensemble. Riot X is a performance group that does work in the Neo-Futurist aesthetic. In its simplest form, that means that what we create and perform is informed entirely on our experiences and perspectives. We do not play characters or anyone but ourselves. We are where we are when we perform, when we are, and how we are. That means that your identity and how you identify (whatever that means to you) is also important to us.
The best way to understand what we do is to check out our YouTube page, where we’ve uploaded most of our plays since the pandemic began.

Since April 2020, Riot X has gone virtual with our monthly live show. Now our "Live-ish" Zoom shows air on the last Saturday of every month, and they comprise 30 original plays each, either pre-recorded or performed live, presented in an unpredictable order determined by the audience that night. These plays are short, generally ~2 minutes in length and are based in truth and the actors' personal experiences. The plays are at times funny, deep, goofy, raw, abstract, profound -- or just a fart joke. They can be physical, movement-based, still, text-based, completely silent, take place in the dark, etc...
Riot X is located in Boston. For now, we work collaboratively and rehearse over Zoom on Thursday nights from 6-8 PM and perform a show on the second Saturday of every month. For the immediate future, we are seeking new ensemble members who are located anywhere that allows you to attend these online meetings and shows. When we are able, we intend on going back to in-person performances and rehearsals; but we don’t know when that will happen.
Experience writing and performing (music, theatre, comedy, anything) can be helpful, but is not a prerequisite. Being comfortable presenting content that may at times expose vulnerability is a must.
For the audition, you will be asked to perform live or present recorded a 2-minute piece of your own original devising that reflects who you are, how you express yourself, and how you interact with the world. The solo performance will likely be followed by a group workshop.
To sign up for auditions please email Joe Gels at joe@theriottheater.com. Be prepared to submit a printed copy of your script, if applicable, alongside a headshot/picture of yourself and resume/CV. Once you sign up, we will also send you a recording of one of our previous Live-ish shows for you to view to become familiar with this unique form.
We look forward to meeting you!
