About the Casting Couch
The Philly Theatre Casting Couch, now in its second touring season, uses a talk show format to engage theatre fans in conversations with celebrity interviewers about what theatre means to them. Imagine seeing a red couch parked in the middle of a plaza or a park – or even on a street corner - with a Philadelphia theatre celebrity is sitting there comfortably chatting with an average Joe/Jane (our contestants) about the magic of theatre! The Theatre Alliance stages these couch appearances to find out what our audiences get from their experiences at the theatre. Each interview is considered an audition for a PSA that we will cast out of clips from the day’s videotaped interviews which will then be posted on YouTube. Contestants also get entered into a ticket giveaway contest. It is a lot of fun, and a great way to meet your audience and build a little buzz for your show.
