    Casting Call: Puppetry of the Penis

    Posted in Casting Call by David Cote on April 6th, 2009 at 10:54 am

    puppetrypicGood morning, sunshine! Have you stretched properly? Wiped the sand out of your eyes? Had your morning coffee? Splendid! Here are penises! Puppetry of the Penis, the almost-self-explanatory Australian comedy act that appalled us a few seasons back, is returning later this month, and the producers are using the lousy economic times to their PR advantage. A casting call for limber dicks after the jump. Since we can’t possibly come up with more tacky puns about penis stretching and folding, we’ll just share the release and run for cover.

    Open Audition to be held for all laid off Wall Streeters, AIG Staff and any other struggling members of the financial community

    Tuesday, April 14
    Beginning at 12 Noon
    Comix (353 West 14 Street)

    As the unemployment numbers rise to an all-time high, the producers of the internationally acclaimed show Puppetry of the Penis, the Ancient Australian Art of Genital Origami, will hold open auditions for its upcoming Res-Erection Tour and Private Parties. This audition is open to any member of the financial service community who has been laid off or anyone else in need of a stimulus package.  Puppetry of the Penis is a bailout package that puts your financial future back into your own hands. Become a member of an elite group of performers and travel the world “dicking around.”

    The auditions will be rigorous, but this time, they can keep their bonuses!! This is a stimulus that the every day man can feel right away—there will be no trickle down effect here. Penis puppeteers should come with a flexible working attitude and be prepared to leave your pants and shame at the door.

    Beginning at noon, auditioners will get a brief Masters Class in the Ancient Australian Art of Genital Origami by the original Penis Puppeteer Simon Morley and should be ready to demonstrate their newly acquired skills.  Puppetry of the Penis is an equal-opportunity employer and will audition both circumcised and uncircumcised genital origami hopefuls. PARTICIPANTS MUST HAVE OWN EQUIPMENT.

    To reserve you place in the audition and to receive your information kit please email puppetryauditions@gmail.com.
