Casting Performers for "Asuncion" Play
Auditions for play "Asuncion". Seeking actors. Please see the details below. About the project: Edgar, aimless and socially inept, lives with Vinny, his former T.A. in Binghamton, NY. Both are committed to being actively anti-racist. In fact, Edgar maintains a blog condemning American imperialism, and Vinny is three-quarters into a Ph.D. in Black Studies. When Edgar’s older brother Stuart announces his marriage to a young Filipina woman named Asuncion, and begs them to take her in as their new roommate while he cleans up a problem from her past, the boys have a perfect opportunity to demonstrate how open-minded they truly are. They each spectacularly fail, revealing their subconscious biases and real connection to each other. Additional info: Audition information: The audition form is attached.
