Performers Needed for Theatre Audition "Hanukkah Spectacular"
Seeking performers for "Hanukkah Spectacular" show. Please find the details below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE CONSIDERED. About the project: Four artists, three days, one conference room, and a play that could combust before it's even finished. Set over a long weekend in a Midtown talent agency, Hanukkah Spectacular drops us into a glass-walled pressure cooker where a group of Jewish artists attempt the seemingly impossible: to make a commercially viable holiday hit about Hanukkah. What starts as a rehearsal comedy becomes a reckoning as lines between actor and character dissolve, a brother and sister's unresolved history cracks the room open, a writer's nervous system short-circuits, and a veteran director discovers his real job: to be the parent nobody cast him as. Rate: SPT $885 weekly minimum (SPT 9) through 1/5/27, increasing to $911 weekly minimum. Additional info: Performances: November 14–December 13, 2026 Auditions by appointment only. Equity actors. Please prepare two contrasting monologues of your choosing. Total audition should not exceed 3 minutes. Please bring your headshot and resume stapled together. If interested, please apply.
