Performers Needed for Theatre Audition "The Minutes"
Casting male and female talent for the "The Minutes" show. Please see the details below. About the project: THE MINUTES is a dark comedy. It had its premiere at the Steppenwolf Theater in Chicago in 2017, and moved to the James Earl Jones Theatre in New York City in 2020. This play takes a hard look at the inner workings of a city council meeting and the hypocrisy, greed and ambition that bubble to the surface when a newcomer to the small town of Big Cherry starts to ask the wrong questions. Why is someone on the council mysteriously missing? What happened to all those bicycles? Is there something going on with the city’s finances? What’s the deal with the available parking space? And why are the minutes from the last meeting being kept secret? Sometimes the “history” we’ve been taught isn’t the true “history” at all! Part Parks & Recreation, part Twilight Zone, this powerful, resonant, and funny portrayal of democracy in action proves that everything you know can change ‐‐ it’s just a matter of minutes. After all, the smallest towns keep the biggest secrets. Additional info: Auditions will consist of cold readings from the script. A résumé and headshot are not required but are appreciated. Please provide a list of all known conflicts between Dec 4, 2024, & Feb 16, 2025. Production dates: Jan 31-Feb 16, 2025. If you are interested, please apply.
