Equity Actors Needed For 2024 Pipeline Festival
Equity actors for roles in 2024 Pipeline Festival. See breakdown below. About the project: "MALICIOUS COMPLIANCE" SYNOPSIS: Mo and Yuri sit under an almost non-existent potted tree named Beckett, waiting impatiently for the next phase of their career—the next part of their journey. Delores sings a song about the blood the land craves, a callous warning that the blood is the only thing that will allow them to ascend to the glory Mo and Yuri believe is possible. Inspired by Waiting for Godot, Malicious Compliance tells the story of two artists desperately waiting for a change that may cost more than they’re willing to give, or worse may never come. "OK" SYNOPSIS: A cast and crew of Latine performers prepare for a non-union bilingual production of Rodgers and Hammerstein's Oklahoma, playing at a regional theater in Oklahoma. When one of the leads discovers she is pregnant and gets her abortion appointment canceled, they band together as they navigate a post-Roe America. In their dialogue comes revelations about their careers, their personal lives, and their relationship with a society that has become desperate to discount their own humanity. "TEARS OF A MEGYN" SYNOPSIS: A black comedy about blackface, white privilege and the police. While remaining roommates since their freshman year in a condo off-campus near the Ivy League school they attend (after working their way through academia to post-graduate status) Rashida comes home to find that Megyn has used Rashida’s makeup to create an iconic look – and win a popular Halloween costume contest. Hilarity ensues. "WHEN THE OTHER MARY CELESTE SANK: A STRANGE AND UMWELTIAN TALE" SYNOPSIS: Marooned on the coast of an island after a shipwreck in 1894, five women must work together to survive in a strange, new world. As they hunt for food and water while battling the relentless insects, each woman develops a deeper understanding of what it means to be human.
