$722/project
Description:

The company is holding auditions for "You Are Cordially Invited To The End Of The World" Show and looking for performers, please see the details below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE CONSIDERED. About the project: Greg’s been so good: he recycles, eats right, loves his wife, and has only a slightly uncomfortable relationship with his grown-up kid. But when he’s faced with a terminal illness, he becomes obsessed with climate change and the fate of the planet while his wife and child try to cope with their own world's ending. This play about grief—and cringe-y family dinners, and lawnmowers, and Greta Thunberg, and gay bars, and awkward support groups—is an exquisitely touching and hilarious story that anyone who’s ever lost a loved one (or laughed at a funeral) can relate to. Rate: CONTRACT LOA $577 weekly minimum (LOA ref. LORT D) $722 weekly minimum (LOA ref. LORT D) Additional info: First rehearsal: January 12, 2027 Tech: February 9, 2027 Preview: February 14, 2027 Run: February 20 - March 7, 2027 Please prepare a monologue(s)/song of your choice. You will have a total of 3-minutes. There will be an accompanist. Please apply if interested.

5 role s

MBoth genders20-22 y.o.All ethnicities

The star. Our MC. Swinging wildly between pissed, sweet, and mystical, maybe mythical. Sometimes in control of the narrative, sometimes being swept away by the story. M is an emerging drag performer moonlighting as a bar back at the local hole-in-the-wall gay bar downtown.

VIVFemale40-59 y.o.All ethnicities

M's mother. The space between. Slightly neurotic and easy to get riled up, she wants with all her might to spend her last days with Greg, alone in a bed with M by their side. She can come across cold, but it's because she is always ready to protect her family.

LILA & OTHERSFemale20-39 y.o.All ethnicities

Viv's younger sister, a high-maintenance yoga gal, who's the center of her own universe. But she's ride-or-die for family and can be a surprisingly great listener. Doubles as: Greta - Part-Greta Thunberg, part-Peter Pan, part-screaming-teenage-girl-at-a-Taylor-Swift-concert, part-Angel of Death. As well as: Grocery Clerk, Shelly, Kathy, Ensemble A

WILL & OTHERSMale20-39 y.o.All ethnicities

Good-natured and well-meaning, but uncomfortable in social situations and too smart for his own good. M's boyfriend. Doubles as: TV Narrator, Frank, Kev, Army Guy, Neighbor 1, Melomys, Ensemble B

JANET & OTHERSFemale60-69 y.o.All ethnicities

Dealing with her wife's cancer diagnosis by at times lashing out, at times being the best older sister you could ever hope for. Blue collar. Doubles as: Dr. Thomas - Greg's doctor with a near-robotic, perhaps excessively cold bedside manner. As well as: Toad - A now extinct Golden Toad. A kind of washed-up rockstar, quick to sob. In addition to: Doordash Gal, Suzie, God Mic, Ensemble C
