"45 Seconds From Broadway" Play Seeking Actors
"45 Seconds From Broadway" show casting actors. Please see the breakdown below. About the project: SYNOPSIS: Set in the Polish Tea Room (a coffee shop / restaurant based on the real life Edison Cafe in New York City), characters wander in and out, sitting down, chatting with each other, building friendships, and giving glimpses into their lives in the “Big Apple.” Bernie and Zelda run the place and make it what it is – a home away from home for everyone who enters. They also help young, starving artists by giving them food, advice, and employment. Established actors and native New Yorkers also frequent the coffee shop, bringing character, humor, and wisdom with them. Additional info: Audition Preparation: All auditionees should come prepared to the auditions with a current theatrical resume and headshot (please note headshots will not be returned). Auditionees will be asked to fill out an audition form and include all conflicts from the audition date to the end of performances. Auditions will consist of readings from the script. Directors are looking for strong, passionate actors, and all ethnicities are encouraged to audition. The Playhouse stands firm on the fact that strong actors with strong direction can play a role, no matter what their type, look, or ethnicity. Those interested should bring a resume (not an option) with photo/headshot. Auditions will consist of readings from the script.
