Equity actors for roles in 2026 season show "Gandhi and The Jew". ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE CONSIDERED. See breakdown below. About the project: SYNOPSIS: A friendship that changed the world. Drawn from years of research, multiple journeys to South Africa, and hundreds of unpublished letters, Gandhi and the Jew uncovers an unlikely and profound bond between Mahatma Gandhi and Hermann Kallenbach, a Jewish architect shaped by exile and persecution. Together, they help invent the philosophy of nonviolence. But as history darkens and the fate of European Jews becomes urgent, their shared ideals fracture, setting them on a collision course over the future of a Jewish state.

2 roles
Ashkenazi Jewish. A Lithuanian-born German Jewish architect: classically Colin Firth handsome, robust, athletic, big-hearted, big build, muscular. Devoted but diffident, passionate but discerning, with great interior conflict. A spiritual seeker finding his way through a tumultuous time, searching for a sense of self, belonging, and conviction—and not afraid to go toe-to-toe with an icon of the twentieth century.
Brilliant, witty, quick, exacting, tough, pedantic, a nag, and almost impossibly unyielding. Not an impersonation of the familiar historical icon, but someone who makes us forget we know who Gandhi becomes. Less saint than a formidable, sometimes maddening young man—peevish, brilliant, relentlessly testing himself and everyone around him.
