Plays
• Seeking Equity actors for roles in “King
Lear.” Production states: “Casting conception: This stripped-down version of ‘King Lear’ is focused on the central family dynamics of the play and has cut Albany and Cornwall so the two older children can act more on their own. We begin with the notion that Lear has had multiple wives which allows latitude in casting Regan and Goneril to be very similar or ethnically varied depending upon the candidates we discover. We’ve also cut Kent from the production which allows us to further streamline the play around the family.”

Musicals
• Casting Equity actors for roles in
“Once.” Local actors encouraged to submit. Synopsis: Guy meets Girl. An unconventional and romantic musical based on the award-winning 2006 film, what follows is not a traditional love story. Guy, a heartbroken musician busking for coins on the streets of Dublin, meets Girl, a Czech immigrant with a complicated history and a broken vacuum cleaner. Despite their differences, Guy and Girl find common ground, a shared language, and genuine love in creating music together. With a cast of incredible actor / musicians who accompany themselves on the soaring, gut-wrenching folk-rock score, “Once” is a uniquely theatrical experience that will move you to laughter, to tears, and to a deep understanding of the particular joy of joining together in song. Featuring all of the magical songs from the critically acclaimed film, including the Oscar-winning “Falling Slowly,” this achingly beautiful, joyously uplifting show strikes an unforgettable chord in audiences and speaks to the power of music to connect us all. A show like that only comes around “Once.”
