Casting Equity Performers for "City Hall" Play
Equity actors sought for roles in 2027 season show "City Hall". ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE CONSIDERED. Please see the additional details below. About the project: SYNOPSIS: Performed inside a real city hall, City Hall transforms the audience into the electorate, the chamber into the stage, and every performance into a live vote on the city’s future. As rising seas threaten to swallow the city, a billionaire developer offers the solution the city cannot afford: he will fund the infrastructure needed to save it, but only if democracy steps aside and his company takes control for a generation. What follows is a gripping, high-stakes battle between survival and sovereignty, speed and accountability, private power and the public good. Immersive, urgent, and different every night, City Hall is a love letter to democracy that asks its audience to do more than watch. It asks them to decide: when the system is failing, do you fix it or give it away?
