Description:

Equity actors for roles in Theatre's 2025-26 Season. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE CONSIDERED. See breakdown below. About the project: "THE LEHMAN TRILOGY" SYNOPSIS: THE LEHMAN TRILOGY portrays the captivating saga of a family and a company that shaped the world, featuring three actors who portray multiple generations of the Lehman brothers. From their hopeful arrival in New York in 1844 to the dramatic collapse of Lehman Brothers 163 years later, this epic tale explores the rise and fall of the iconic firm, intertwining personal dreams with a global financial crisis. "BLITHE SPIRIT" SYNOPSIS: This classic comedy from playwright of Private Lives offers up fussy, cantankerous novelist Charles Condomine, re-married but haunted – literally – by the ghost of his late first wife, the clever and insistent Elvira who is called up by a visiting “happy medium,” one Madame Arcati. As personalities clash, Charles’ current wife, Ruth, is accidentally killed and passes over, joining Elvira in the afterlife, and the two “blithe spirits” haunt the hapless Charles into perpetuity. "GUYS & DOLLS" SYNOPSIS: Set in Damon Runyon's mythical New York City, GUYS AND DOLLS is an oddball romantic comedy. Gambler, Nathan Detroit, tries to find the cash to set up the biggest craps game in town while the authorities breathe down his neck; meanwhile, his girlfriend and nightclub performer, Adelaide, laments that they've been engaged for fourteen years...
