JULIUS CAESAR VARIETY SHOW is the worst audition you've ever had. A Black actor, a woman actor, and a straight white male actor walk into a Shakespeare audition in a condemned theatre space. Amidst a riot outside the theatre, three auditionees attempt to impress an intensely respected director set on reinventing the play in "unorthodox" styles. As the audition unfolds, the actors' identities are called into the audition room and exploited for better performances.
