Theater Casting Call for "The Starling Effect" Play

Edmonton, AB, Canada
ID: 292610Exp: 9/17/2025
Description:

ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. Seeking performers for production of "The Starling Effect". More detais are below. About the play: Ravonna killed her sister. Or so she thinks, until she realizes that the consciousness experiment she tampered with has trapped not one, but two souls inside a starling specimen: her sister’s, and her estranged mentor’s wife. As Ravonna works to rescue them before the bird dies, she has to decide how far she’ll go and what she’ll sacrifice to recover what was lost. Part thriller, part speculative fiction, this highly original world premiere examines just how far people will go to protect others – or themselves. Additional information: Location: Only Calgary-based artists need apply (or, those who can work local). Rehearsals start March 31, 2026; opening April 20; closing May 9. SUBMISSION DEADLINE September 17, 2025. CAEA Actors will be given priority. Equity or Non-Equity applicants are welcome. DOT Policy (theatre) for Equity members - pending approval. If you're interested, please apply.
