Description:

Auditions for four fantastic shows. In search of actors. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE CONSIDERED. See the details below. About the project: Show #1: "Hollywood Nebraska" - Two forty-something actresses have returned to their dying hometown in the Great Plains of Nebraska. TV star Jane is in from Los Angeles to check on her ailing mom, Alma. Stage actress Andrea is back from New York City to bury her father. Distracted by two charismatic local men—a handsome widower and a rough-and-ready laborer—the former frenemies confront complicated feelings about career, love, and loss, leading to an overdue showdown between Jane and her mother. Fall in love with a hope-filled, tears-and-laughter comedy about small towns and big dreams, the urge to be creative, the itch to move away, and the ache—and joy—of coming home. Show #2: "How the Light Gets In" - A travel writer who never travels. A Japanese architect who can’t figure out how to build a simple tea house. A gifted tattoo artist who resists the power of his talents. And a homeless girl who lives under a weeping willow tree in the Japanese Garden. Four lonely people, their stories written on paper, earth, and skin, find each other when one of them falls apart. Together, they realize the heart is as strong as it is fragile and that the safety of home might be found in the most fearsome explorations. It is a beautiful, haunting, and richly human play. Show #3: "A Good Farmer" - A moving drama laced with humor and heartache, A GOOD FARMER is the story of two women—a farm owner and her unlikely best friend, an illegal Mexican immigrant—fighting to survive in a small town divided by America’s immigration battle. With rich, complicated roles for women, A GOOD FARMER is a play about love, friendship, and finding the power to face what divides us. Show #4: "Dot" - The holidays are always a wild family affair at the Shealy house. But this year, Dotty and her three grown children gather with more than exchanging presents on their minds. As Dotty struggles to hold on to her memory, her children must fight to balance care for their mother and care for themselves. This twisted and hilarious new play grapples unflinchingly with aging parents, midlife crises, and the heart of a West Philly neighborhood. Rate: A stipend of $500.00 will be paid at the end of the run. Additional info: Show #1: Hollywood Nebraska In-person callbacks will be held on December 16, 2024.
