"Octet" Production Looking for Equity Performers

The company is seeking equity actors for roles in "Octet" show and looking for performers, please see the details below ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE CONSIDERED. About the project: On a rainy night, an octet of strangers gather in a church basement to share their stories—no phones allowed. We are at a support group meeting for internet addicts, where the participants will plumb the highs and lows of their online dependency, collectively charting a course through internet addled nihilism into the potential of connection and hope. Featuring a stunning a cappella musical score written by Dave Malloy (Natasha, Pierre & the Great Comet of 1812), Octet is a strikingly modern and refreshingly honest musical about the contemporary human condition unlike anything you’ve seen—or heard—before. Octet is an acapella chamber and an original libretto inspired by internet comment boards, scientific debates, religious texts, and Sufi poetry, the play explores addiction and nihilism within the messy context of 21st century technology. Each musical number in Octet is inspired by a particular Tarot Card. Below is a description of the card most closely associated with each character’s solo and archetype. We’ve also included notes on vocal range.
