Description:

Seeking performers for "Stupid F##king Bird" Play. Please see the details below. About the project: Kind, hopeful Dev suffers from an unrequited love for Mash, who composes cleverly despairing songs on the ukulele. Mash is desperately in love with Con, a passionate playwright who is deeply in love with Nina, his beautiful, vibrant muse, and childhood friend. Nina seems to love him back, until she becomes entranced by Trig, a literary star who happens to be dating Con’s mother Emma, a successful actress who is hopelessly commercial, in the eyes of her son. With a dead bird, a gun, and a little help from the audience, Con might be able to win Nina’s heart again… or at least feed his own tentative, morbid creativity. In this edgy, funny, and compassionate reboot of Anton Chekhov’s famous The Seagull, Aaron Posner has created a strong, energetic ensemble piece, a hilarious and moving meditation on love, art, life, and the world we live in. Additional info: Rehearsals will be three days a week beginning Monday, January 12th from 6pm-9 Show dates are March 13th through March 29th, Friday and Saturdays 7pm and Sundays at 2pm. Auditions will consist of cold readings from the play. Please apply, if interested.
