Actor needed for Richmond Fringe Show in April 2025
M/F Actor needed for 2 performances of The Mockingbird News, original stage play by Joseph Reed Hayes, at Richmond Fringe in April 2025. Intense 1 person show with drummer, memorization skills and extremely wide acting range and experience crucial for this dense script. Show won two "Best Of" awards at 2022 Orlando Fringe; website reflects that show. Local actor required, rehearsals begin in early March.
1 role
The Mockingbird News follows one person’s lifetime, charted over five different angles. What’s important is watching so many different aspects of the same persona, painting brief parts of this character’s life, so that each glimpse becomes more enticing, leaping from persona to persona — a Lenny Bruce-boosting stand-up comic in one scene, an aging carny looking back on an abusive childhood in the next — all while propelled by the beats of live percussion.
