Talent Needed for "Evelyn in Purgatory" Show

Morrisville, PA, United States
ID: 289996Exp: 7/25/2025
Description:

The company is holding auditions for "Evelyn in Purgatory" Show and looking for performers, please see the details below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE CONSIDERED. About the project: When a complaint is filed against one of the 70,000 teachers in New York's public schools, they're sent to a Reassignment Center, one of a series of empty offices in the Department of Education Building. There, they sit and wait for their case to be reviewed. Usually for months. Occasionally stealing over a year of their lives. A claim of improper behavior by a failing student lands Evelyn Reid in "the rubber room," where she encounters a group of teachers, who have long since lost any hope of returning to a classroom. Over the course of the school year, these colleagues form an unlikely alliance, reminding each other of forgotten passions, emerging to face life outside in unexpected new directions. Rate: All roles are non-equity and unpaid. Additional info: Performance Dates: October 10, 11, 12, 17, 18*, 19, 24, 25, 26^, 2025 Fridays and Saturdays at 8:00 p.m., Sundays at 2:00 p.m. (Call time for actors is one hour before the show starts.) Please apply if interested.

7 roles

CANDACE METZGERFemale30-39 y.o.All ethnicities

The person with the most power in the room, and the least qualifications for it. From New Jersey, she tries to hide her accent but fails when she gets emotional.

EVELYN REIDFemale30-39 y.o.All ethnicities

Likeable and resourceful. A careful mix of guarded pleasantry – she has a stellar game face. New England native.

LILA WADKINSFemale50-59 y.o.All ethnicities

Calm, maternal, thoughtful, witty. The voice of reason. The art teacher everyone wishes they had. Upstate New York native, with some residual hippie around the edges.

TOBY FLEMINGMale20-29 y.o.All ethnicities

A bit of a geek. Quiet, passive-aggressive, perpetually uncertain. Brooklyn native

FRED DISALVOMale50-59 y.o.All ethnicities

Bombastic, funny, a bit of a bully. A gym teacher from Hell's Kitchen, back when that still meant something.

ROBERTA BURKEFemale60-69 y.o.All ethnicities

The self-appointed queen of all she surveys. Razor-sharp wit, no patience, and an uncanny ability to spot the weaknesses in those around her. Very Bronx.

ATWOODMale18-56 y.o.All ethnicities

(Unseen Voice) – The head of the disciplinary panel. The invisible voice of absolute authority.
