-RE Partial Nudity:

The role of THE YOUNG WOMAN has a short scene where she removes her shirt and is on stage in her bra. It's a getting-ready-to-go-out moment. She keeps her pants on

 

-TW: suicide

-RE Callbacks:

They may happen on either Dec 19 or Dec 20. It's not clear if callbacks will be held in person or virtually.

 

-RE Quick Turnaround:

The casting process will be a quick one, as the production goes into rehearsal on Jan 13th. Securing the rights to produce this play took a long time. That's why we're starting the search so close to the Holidays and the beginning of rehearsals.

ABOUT THE PLAY:

Caught in a cycle of love, loss, and intense need, a young couple spiral out of a difficult relationship and into a nightmare. A rushed and awkward visit from the Young Man's parents spurs the Young Woman to go out for the evening, leaving the Young Man paralyzed by his need for her love. A routine questioning upon her return reveals a challenge neither one of them is prepared to confront. Filled with rhythm, poetry, and sparse language, this play lives in limbo between reality and a world of symbolism.
 

SEEKING:
 

THE YOUNG WOMAN - Female-Identifying, 30's, any race or ethnicity. Independent and suffocating. A woman caught in a relationship that she desperately wants out of. A woman caught in a family she wants out of. Wants nothing more than to get away and start, away from an apathetic husband.

THE YOUNG MAN - Male-Identifying, 30's, any race or ethnicity. A bookworm, an intellectual. Earnest. He is caught up in his head all day, is struggling towards action but has a clear desire and want that something in his marriage must change. A bit of a narcissist and in a relationship that he has no interest in and no ideas on how to create a better family. But he is still listening and trying to process.
