Project Title | TRU - A Musical for Mental Health - Understudy |
Description:
Gosz & Fotos seeks a 30+ year old, male-identified actor/singer who is a person of color to understudy for Mark Hayes, a supporting role in TRU - A Musical for Mental Health.
TRU will run at Stage 773 from 11/1 through 11/24. This is a stipend paid position!
TRU is a thoughtful and thought-provoking story that paints a picture of what it could be like to live with mental illness. To capture the depth of this struggle, TRU brings it to life, depicting it as the manipulative half of a toxic relationship, called Her. As Truman's relationship with Her worsens and his struggles grow, he finds the strength to ask for help and seek treatment, embarking on a journey toward recovery with the help of his family and those around him.
Winner of "Best Music" at the 2018 Chicago Musical Theatre Festival, TRU tells a story that is accessible, empathic, and illuminating, fighting against the stigma that surrounds mental illness every night and every day.
