Casting Equity Actors for 2025 Fall Festival

Equity actors for roles in 2025 Fall Festival. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE CONSIDERED. See breakdown below. About the project: "BETTER" SYNOPSIS: In a high-security meat-processing plant in the Ozarks, middle-aged line workers Ruth and Donna have long since settled into a routine based on decades of shared resentments. But when a new figure shows up in town, cracks start to break wide open - between Ruth and Donna, and in the world high above their workstation. And what’s up with all these Security alerts lately? BETTER is a darkly comic drama about the personal and systemic forces that conspire to resist change — often and especially change for the better. "IN CASE OF BRUISING" SYNOPSIS: Triplets Milo, Otis, and Della’s lives are very different from other kids. They’re too big for first grade, they don’t know when they’ll have food for lunch, and they don’t go home if their father is in a bad mood. They know their Mama spends more time in the hospital than other mothers. They know she is sad again. One afternoon, the triplets meet Calico, an odd boy with an odd name. They accept him quickly. As Daddy and Mama get worse, each child finds new ways to cope - some safer than others. "PRETEND IT'S PRETEND" SYNOPSIS: Playgrounds are designed to be dangerous enough for experimentation, yet safe enough to allow experiments to fail without serious injury. This play is a playground. When Arthur is asked to design a bulletproof playscape for his daughter’s old school, he confronts an unsettling reality: that the world does not operate by the same rules as playgrounds. At a time when dangers beyond the playground are overwhelmingly present, this is a story about the endurance of care. It is a play about learning, growing up, and grown-ups learning to play. "TIPPING POINT" SYNOPSIS: In the not-too-distant future, sea levels have reached uninhabitable heights--resulting in mass relocation efforts throughout the country...
