Description:

The company is holding auditions for "The Nether" Show and looking for performers, please see the details below. About the project: Part riveting crime drama, part thought-provoking sci-fi thriller, The Nether is a daring exploration of the darkest corners of human desire. Set in the near future, the play begins in an interrogation room in which a police detective is questioning the creator of a lurid online platform that offers total sensory immersion – simply log in, select an alternative identity, and indulge your private fantasies in a virtual playground free of all moral and ethical boundaries. Raising more questions than it answers, The Nether is a timely, disquieting, and cautionary parable about the shadowy middle-ground between the strictures of a virtuous reality and a beckoning virtual realm in which anything goes. Additional info: Audition Type: Open Call - Cold Reading Note: It is recommended that all actors wishing to audition read the script prior to auditioning.
