Actors Needed for "A Strange Loop" Play Audition
Looking to cast male and female talent for the "A Strange Loop" show. See more details below. About the project: A STRANGE LOOP follows Usher, who introduces himself in the show’s first moments as “a young overweight-to-obese homosexual and/or gay and/or queer, cisgender male, able-bodied university-and-graduate-school educated, musical-theater writing, Disney-ushering, broke-ass middle-class far-Left-leaning Black-identified-and-classified American descendant of slaves full of self-conscious femme energy [who] thinks he’s probably a vers bottom.” Usher’s consciousness is conjured onstage through a six-person ensemble embodying his “Thoughts.” They effortlessly shift from playing abstract ideas to historical figures to real-life family members. The constant interplay between the Thoughts heightens their cruelty and playfulness, paradoxically underlining each performer’s individuality. Rate: SPT $323 weekly minimum (SPT 1) Additional info: Please prepare 32 bars of a soulful contemporary uptempo and 32 bars of a ballad. Also, bring your headshot and resume stapled together.
