Casting actors for "Not My Monkey" production. Please find the breakdown below. ONLY MD, VA & LOCAL TALENT WILL BE CONSIDERED. Rate: $95 per performance; $18/hour for rehearsal. About the project: Trouble under the big top! The new ringleader wants to do a good job leading her zany crew of circus folk, but there's a new problem every time she turns around, and no one wants to pitch in or even try to get along. To make matters worse, the monkeys have broken loose and are wreaking havoc everywhere! How can a community work together to solve its problems, when everyone thinks it's not their problem to solve? Everyone in the audience gets into the act right from where they're sitting, becoming part of the community of performers and townspeople who need to tackle this hair-raising problem.
