Equity Actors Required for "Project 251" Play

Equity actors for roles in "Project 251". See breakdown below. About the project: PROJECT 251 is a new play, a meditation on the future of our country. This work aspires to lift up the absurdity of the U.S.A. today and turn in hope to a frighteningly uncertain future. It is a devised work that will draw on contemporary and historic reporting and documents, and the writings of authors such as Alfred Jarry, Edward Lear, and Gertrude Stein, Tristan Tzara, and Kurt Schwitters. PROJECT 251 aspires to nonsense, but a kind of nonsense that achieves its own resonance and beauty. Rate: LOA $671 weekly minimum (Ref. to LORT) - 2026 rate Additional info: Audition day lunch 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM. PREPARATION: Please prepare a brief (not more than two minutes) monologue from any poem, document, play, or other source written before 1914. This will be an ensemble play. Cast members will need to be willing and ready to contribute to an open and inclusive process, and to adjust to the dynamic evolution of the piece. Experience with classical drama is helpful. It's an experimental theater company and actors must be comfortable with unorthodox approaches and unusual treatment of text. Directors seek actors who are comfortable trying things without knowing why. Directors are seeking two actors (any gender) to join principal ensemble. Actors will shift and share roles often, depending on the sections directors choose for adaptation. As with any devised work, the shape of this will be largely determined by collaborative process.
