Off Book Antics
About Off Book Antics
​
Since our opening in 2023, we have found great joy in watching dozens of first and long time theatre-makers embrace the unknown. To nurture the trust required for actors to express raw, unfiltered impulses onstage, we host rehearsal dance parties, clown exercises, improv games, and more. By prioritizing team bonding, our actors take risks and trust that their mistakes will be celebrated. When a shoe accidentally falls off, a voice cracks, or a prop is broken, we say "That was funny! Let's keep that!" These unplanned, or off book, moments are our favorite aspects of every show.
Our Process
We Welcome Newbies
Howdy! I'm Caraline Casey, and I still wear my Shakespeare with sunglasses T-shirt from middle school. I founded Off Book Antics because I want to help others learn to proudly wear their heart on their sleeve regardless of prior exposure to the stage. In a highly collaborative setting, where we collectively choose material relevant to the ensemble's beliefs, I hope to create an outlet for you to tell the stories you've never gotten to tell before. If you feel like it’s too late to dip your toe into a new passion, scratch that idea and audition for Off Book Antics!
