If you're willing to read aloud utterly embarrassing childhood relics in front of total strangers... we'd LOVE to meet with you and hear your material. Our show is open to all.
What is MORTIFIED?
Mortified is a comic excavation of awkward adolescent artifacts - old journals, poems, love letters, lyrics, locker notes, home movies, etc. - and shared by their original authors in front of total strangers.
Mortified is a nationally acclaimed show with chapters around the country and now in Austin. Hailed a "cultural phenomenon" by Newsweek and celebrated by the likes of This American Life on NPR, The Today Show, The Onion AV Club, Entertainment Weekly, Esquire, Jane, Daily Candy and more... the project collects childhood creations and uses them to reveal uniquely autobiographical tales. There are amazing stories buried in the pages of people's lives. Our mission is to simply help find them. The result is a unique show-and-tell presentation where the emphasis is always on narrative.
WHAT: MORTIFIED CASTING SESSIONS - AUSTIN
WHEN: Saturday, October 10th or Thursday, October 22nd
SUBMIT FOR A SCREENING SESSION: www.getmortified.com/casting
WHAT DO I SUBMIT?
All material must be written between the ages of 6-21 and by ALL MEANS, totally totally suck. We look for stuff that is real, written by you, laugh-out-loud funny (but not on purpose), and reveals something unique about yourself. Topics can range from the sweet (crushes) to the dark (depression)... just as long as they make people laugh. And no, you do NOT have to be an actor of any kind... just someone who is very good at playing themselves. We welcome all material: Diaries/ Journals, Notebooks, Poems, Lyrics, Letters.

awesome.
i recently uncovered an entire treasure chest of middle-school embarrassment.
oh, the notes and journals from the good ol' days- when i was just a tall, awkward glass of acne, wearing doc marten boots with jeanshorts, and spending more time in trouble at the vice principals office than class.
