‘One More Night,’ Equity Video Submissions

• Casting Equity actors for “One More

Night,” a durational performance event, the culmination of five years of development inspired by the classic collection of ancient stories, The Thousand and One Nights. Over time this project has grown to include adapted stories from the “Nights,” stories from other traditions that echo or reflect on the “Nights,” and the history of the oral transmission and ceaseless re-invention of the “Nights.” We will experiment with

a broad range of materials and devise a play created by the company. We are seeking two actors (of any gender) to join our principal ensemble. Actors will shift and share roles often, depending on the sections we choose for adaptation. All actors will share the role of Scheherazade and other important roles too. As with any devised work, the shape of this will be largely determined by our collaborative process. • Company: Target Margin Theater, Inc.

Staff: David Herskovits, dir. (viewing auditions); Dina El-Aziz, Carolyn Mraz, and Jack Scaletta, design team, Michelle Tuite, stage mgr.; Sophie Aung and Adam Kassim, art. prods. • Rehearsals begin Feb. 21; runs through

May 1 in Brooklyn, NY.
