The Last Audition
The Last Audition is a moving and gently humorous one-person play about a lifelong actor preparing for what he believes is one final audition.
As he rehearses, memories surface, some joyful, some challenging, and the stage becomes a place of reflection, resilience, and heart. With warmth, wit, and familiar touches of Shakespeare, the play celebrates creativity, independence, and the courage to keep showing up, no matter our age.
It’s a story about staying curious, staying connected, and finding meaning in the moments that matter most. World Premiere performance.
Presented by: Paul Shearman
Born into a military family in Virginia, raised in California, and educated in Oregon, Paul Shearman discovered theatre in high school and never let it go. Though he earned a degree in Political Science and International Affairs, the stage kept calling. Work in Washington, D.C. and New York City reignited his passion for performance across theatre, film, and television. Twice set aside, acting always returned—this time to stay. Years as an entrepreneur gave him resilience and business acumen he now brings to the craft. Ongoing training sharpens his skills, while collaborations on stage and set fuel inspiration. Today, his performances span China, the United States, and the United Kingdom, with London as the newest chapter. Each role deepens his commitment to storytelling.
