  • Liam Castellan: Callback Comedown by James Kelsey Nelson
    “

    Starts as a very relatable skewering about the audition process (with characters we've all definitely shared an awkwardly quiet hallway with), which was already funny enough to keep my interest for ten minutes. But then it goes WAY off the rails in a way that made me laugh out loud multiple times. Get yourself a few folding chairs and produce this hilarious play!

    This lunatic recounting of an audition gone terribly awry is gripping fun. The very realistic interactions among three tense actors spiral into a comic horror story. The escalation of disastrous events is wittily rendered and a twisted delight.

    The life of the working actor is not all fun and games. Sometimes you nail it and just know you’ve landed the role, sometimes you’re not sure how you did, and sometimes it’s an unmitigated disaster. (Maybe even all three?) In this 10-minute comedy, James Kelsey Nelson runs his three characters through a gamut of emotions as they wait to find out which of them ends up as Madame (or is it MaDAME) Skretzky. Fun stuff.

    James Kelsey Nelson has a natural ability to capture common situations, infusing them with well-drawn characters and quick-witted comedy. This is a fantastic short play that any actor can relate to!
