About the Show
The show will originate from the stage of The Hive Collaborative in Provo, Utah in front of a live studio audience. Season 2 will run for five Friday and Saturday evenings over six weeks, beginning July 12 and ending Aug 17, 2019 (note: no performances scheduled for Aug. 9 & 10). Some roles require a commitment to each of the evening performances. Others require only a commitment to four of the evenings. Compensation will consist of a modest travel stipend.
Roles & Schedule
Team Guardians
There will be four teams, each consisting of one Guardian (team captain) and four Champions (team players).
Champions
Each team will consist of four Champions (or players), each of whom will be featured for at least one Friday/Saturday set of performances. Champions need not be experienced in tabletop role-playing games, but should be willing to gamely dive right into their assigned character and determine the extent they want to follow the advice of their team Guardians. In addition, one Champion for each team will be chosen to return to play on the final Friday/Saturday of the show. As such, Champions must be available for one of the following pairs of dates: July 12-13, July 19-20, July 26-27 & Aug. 2 & 3, and all Champions must be available to return if called upon for the final two nights: Aug. 16 & 17.
Other Roles
All roles are available, including team Guardians and Champions. In addition, the role of the Barkeep is available (note: this role will not be based on Season 1’s barkeep Dermot, but will be a new character to be determine later through the audition process). In addition, we are introducing two new roles, commentators that will participate in a pre-show performance. Commentators should be well-verse in tabletop RPG strategies and game-play.
In addition to the performance nights, team Guardians and Champions will be required to attend game-play instruction rehearsals during several evenings prior to the game nights as well as a dress and tech rehearsal on the Thursday prior to the performance dates. Dates and times to be determined.
Audition Dates
Auditions for all roles will be held Friday, June 14 from 7-9 pm and Saturday, June 15 from 10 am to noon. Other audition time slots and dates may be scheduled as needed.
Returning Auditioners/Season 1 Cast Members

What to Prepare
For Enter the Hex Season 2, we are continuing to develop our spin on tabletop role-playing games. Working within a fairly streamlined format of the show means that we will be seeking to keep our players’ attributes somewhat simplified. Players selected to participate in Season 2 will be asked to adopt a character created specifically for the show with designated attributes that may be different from other tabletop RPGs. For your audition, we are more interested in how well you can adopt an assigned character, which may not be the specific character you bring for your audition. As such, we would ask that you come with two contrasting characters, from two different clans (see below), to demonstrate your range. For your audition, we’d ask you to introduce yourself briefly, including your name and experience in tabletop RPGs, then to introduce your first character by sharing your character’s name and telling us in character a little bit about your character. We may also ask you to do the same for your second character. We may also verbally present a situation to you and ask you to respond to it as your character would.
It would also be helpful to watch at least parts of a few episodes of Season 1 (click here).
