Project Title | Gary: A Sequel to Titus Andronicus |
Description:
Redtwist Theatre is seeking actors to submit for Gary: A Sequel to Titus Andronicus, written by Taylor Mac, Directed by Redtwist Ensemble member Steve Scott (he/him).
About:
In GARY, maverick theater artist Taylor Mac's singular world view intersects with Shakespeare's first tragedy, Titus Andronicus. Set just after the blood-soaked conclusion of that sensationally gruesome tale, the years of battles are over, the country has been stolen by madmen, and there are casualties everywhere. And two very lowly servants are charged with cleaning up the bodies. It's the year 400-but it feels like the end of the world.
The stipend for actors is $350, $100 for Understudies (with their own rehearsal process and two guaranteed performances).
Characters: (all performed by any genders)
CAROL: a midwife.
GARY: a Clown, who becomes a maid, who dreams of being a Fool.
JANICE: a maid.
