Actors Wanted for "The Taming " Staged Reading

Morro Bay, CA, United States
ID: 314749Exp: 7/27/2026
Description:

Casting talent for "The Taming " Staged Reading, please see the details below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE CONSIDERED. About the project: The cast is all women. The play explores current themes of extreme partisanship, feminism, and Constitutional law with an all-female cast who portray characters at a Miss America contest in Georgia, as well as a few of our historical Founding Fathers and their wives. In a raucous, hilarious, somewhat reality-altered landscape, the importance that compromise played in founding our nation is explored, and concludes with the importance of compromise that can be reached in finding commonality. There is some sensitive material in terms of the fact that one of the characters gives the others “ether” and sends them on a “trip” of sorts. Cell phones and the rights of panda-shrews figure prominently. Additional info: Performance dates: Friday & Saturday, Sept. 4 & 5 at 7pm and Sunday, Sept. 6 at 3pm Actors will read from sides from the script. If you are interested in the role of KATHERINE, please be prepared to sing a few bars of America the Beautiful a cappella, badly is fine, as that is what the script calls for. Please apply if interested
