Casting Singers for Production of "Faust Syndrome"

Theater is seeking singers (any vocal range) to join the cast of their upcoming production of "Faust Syndrome", a new adaptation of the Faust myth. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE CONSIDERED. Please find the details below. About the project: The piece follows three activists who strive to end the genocide in Gaza, abolish ICE, and bring an end to American imperialism. When they are approached by the Devil’s agent Mephistopheles and offered extraordinary – and terrifying! – power, the age-old Faustian bargain cycle unfurls yet again. The production will feature puppets, a choir, and urgently-need questions around movement building, individualism, and violence. Singers will be part of a quartet singing adaptations of music from The Sacred Harp, an early American singing tradition (example here), as well as vocal music in four parts composed for the show. The choir will form a kind of collective character in the show, and all music will be performed from the stage (there will be no pit). Rate: $900 stipend per performer (same amount for all full collaborators on the production, regardless or role). This is inclusive of AEA travel reimbursement (if applicable). This is a pretty small theater company. AEA approved. Food: Theater provides a snack at all activities longer than 3 hours and a meal at all activities longer than 6 hours. Additional info: REHEARSAL/PERFORMANCE SCHEDULE: Late September: singers receive scores, review and prepare music on own time. Music rehearsals: Three 2hr. rehearsals in early October, scheduled according to singers’ availability. Music & show rehearsals: Tuesdays Oct. 6, 13, & 20 + Wednesday, 10/21 (evenings). Tech rehearsals: Saturday, Oct. 24 - Tuesday, Oct. 27 (weekday evenings & weekend afternoons + evenings). Dress rehearsal: Wednesday, Oct. 28 (evening). Performances: Thursday, Oct. 29 - Sunday, Nov. 15 (weekday evenings & weekend afternoons + evenings). When applying, please include resume, headshot, and clip(s).
