ABOUT THE PLAY:

Two young Latinas lock eyes at a Greenwich Village party in 1954 and the world tilts. Blanca is a razor-sharp bartender who’s weary of struggling to be a painter and is looking for a ring and a powerful man. Ines is a Cuban seamstress with an open heart and big artistic dreams. What begins as flirtation becomes a doomed duet: mentorship, rivalry, and seduction ensue—all played out in Greenwich Village in the cold water flats and ateliers where post war American art is being invented. Blanca & Ines is an unsentimental love story about women who want it all and the cost of ambition in a world that fears women’s talents and desires. It asks how art gets made, who is allowed to make it, and what women sacrifice to be seen.

SEEKING:

*Looking for NYC-local actors.
**The characters have moments of emotional and physical intimacy between themselves. The production will have an intimacy director or coordinator on staff.
***Actors must be comfortable changing costumes and being in period undergarments on stage. 

BLANCA - Female-Identifying, Latina, late 20s to mid 30s. A peacock on steroids.She is the focal point of any room she is in. She thrives on getting attention but beneath her bravura there is a sensitive, curious, and wounded artist. 

INES - Female-Identifying, Latina, early 20s to early 30s. A keen observer of life. She is full of curiosity, ambition, and wonder. She is both innocent and wise. She is a bright light on the cusp of genius. English is not her first language.

STORYLINE: This darkly comic fable of brotherly love and family identity tells the story of two brothers, Lincoln and Booth, names given to them as a joke by their father. Haunted by the past and their obsession with the street con game three-card monte, the brothers navigate ambition, dreams, rivalry, and deep family secrets to uncover the surprising truths that have shaped their lives.

​

SEEKING:
 

LINCOLN – male-identifying, late 30s to early 40s, Black; The elder brother, weary and introspective, carrying the responsibility of survival after years hustling on the street. Grounded, world-wise, and haunted by choices made and paths not taken. Carries authority, but also deep exhaustion.

 

BOOTH – male-identifying, early 30s to mid 30s, Black; The younger brother, sharp but insecure, carrying the weight of abandonment and family trauma. Street-smart, brash, and fueled by the need to prove himself. He masks vulnerability with bravado and comic energy, but his intensity can turn on a dime.

ABOUT THE PROJECT:
Notice to Appear (NTA) is an interactive experience, live theatrical performance, and staged public tribunal, conceived and directed by Irina Kruzhilina. NTA exposes the dysfunctional dynamics of the U.S. immigration courts and the forces determining asylum seekers’ fate. It interrogates the roles of all court actors—and the public’s responsibility—in the asylum crisis. 

A crucial part of the asylum process is the Individual Merits Hearing, where immigration judges determine whether someone stays or is deported. These rulings vanish into a black hole—unseen, unrecorded, inaccessible. Based on months of research—dozens of first-hand court observations, interviews with judges, ICE attorneys, asylum seekers, immigration lawyers and interpreters— Notice to Appear transforms this hidden world into participatory civic theater.

SEEKING:

*The production is looking for NYC-local actors. The team will hold one-on-one meetings with performers before requesting actors to submit a video audition.*

REINA REYES et al.: Female-Identifying, late 30s, speaks both English and Spanish. A Mam Indigenous Guatemalan woman and mother of one, a survivor of domestic violence who fled Guatemala.

NOTE: The performer will play multiple roles throughout the production, rotating between the refugee/asylum seeker role, an immigration judge, and an ICE attorney.
