“Bank Job” Play Searching For Cast
Actors job for play “Bank Job”. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE CONSIDERED. See the details below. About the project: "Two brothers pull off a bank heist. But their escape plan through an executive washroom hits an unexpected snag. Then, a young woman, a cop, and a hostage show up. What ELSE could go wrong? The steal gets stopped in this comic romp that explodes in hilarious, high-energy shenanigans…with a little romance thrown in.

Dramatic storylines emerge after a comedic setup. This is comedy sprinkled with poignancy."
