Description:

Equity actor for a role in the Off-Broadway production of "Fish". See breakdown below. About the project: SYNOPSIS: 2016, London. Seventeen-year-old Karya is navigating her brother’s unresolved disappearance. When her mother’s outrageous theory about his whereabouts starts to gain traction, Karya decides to put it to the test. With her best friend, she devises a twisted online experiment, setting a hook in the darkest corners of the internet. But what begins as a search for answers quickly spirals into something more sinister than she ever expected. By turns sharp, tensely funny, and tender, Fish is a darkly comedic coming-of-age story about grief, girlhood and games that go too far. Rate: Off Broadway $859 weekly minimum (cat. 1) Additional info: Audition day break: 1:00PM - 2:00PM. Sign-ups will end early due to the Memorial Day Holiday. PREPARATION: Actors should prepare a brief monologue. Please bring a physical copy of your resume and headshot stapled together. Accent note for all roles: The play is set in London in 2016, and all actors should be able to work confidently in a contemporary British accent.
