'The Unseen World'

PAIDWORK FROM HOMENONUNION

Deadline: June 30, 2021 4:59 PM
Company: The Monkey House

Ira Marlowe, prod.-dir.; Alison Auth, co-prod.

Casting "The Unseen World," a radio play musical. Note: We are in production but have had to re-cast two key roles. At present, this is an audio-only version of a new musical. The show involves parallel dimensions, schizophrenia, and a mythical invention by Nikola Tesla--but also touches on racism and our unconscious assumptions about people and the world. The finished recording will be promoted to podcasts, public radio stations and theaters as a way of bringing this show to the stage. We've assembled an amazing cast of actors from NY and LA and are seeking more people on that same level as singers and voice actors.

Roles

Baritone villain(s) (Supporting): Male, 35-60WORK FROM HOMEWe're producing a radio play of "The Unseen World", a new musical involving parallel dimensions, schizophrenia, and the fate of our planet. This show has already won a contest, had a series of readings, and all involved are excited about its momentum. We are already in production with a fabulous cast and need to replace an actor who's become unavailable. This actor hired will play as many as three roles: Mr. Lee, a sadistic security guard with a chillingly flat affect, Rathbone, a pompous bureaucrat, and Rod a swaggering oaf who sees himself as god's gift to women. Lee and Rathbone have featured parts in ensemble songs, Rod has a song of his own. We need an actor who is committed, professional, and a strong baritone. Because this being recorded at home and via zoom, we can offer a fair amount flexibility with scheduling.Required Media: Headshot/PhotoRequired Skills:

Company Roll On! Productions

Craig Johnson, dir. of ops.

Production Description

Casting a virtual reading of "Roll On!," a gospel drama musical. Synopsis: An ensemble gospel play that tells the story of an aged black church, its search for new leadership, and its secrets buried deep within its walls…and its parishioners. Set primarily in the suburbs of Detroit, MI, the play spans a total of 25 years, requiring a cast that is able to convincingly play a broad range of ages.

Production states: "Roll On! is written by Marshall Opie, a native New Yorker based in the DMV, and will be directed by Alric Davis, a Howard University alumnus based out of Houston TX. While there are many references to the Gospel, Roll On! is not simply a religious play but a universal dramatic work with an exciting, eclectic, thumping, soulful musical score. Though within the ensemble there are clear leads, there are no “DIVAS” written in the play. Everyone’s individual performance is important. We are looking for a strong, experienced Broadway caliber cast that can SING, ACT, and “MOVE” on the stage, particularly qualified interested actors that could be potentially cast in a full Houston-based, live stage performance in 2022, being developed for a road-tour heading eastward to New York."

Roles

Collapse All RolesPearl Johnson (Principal Lead) (Lead): Female, 46-72WORK FROM HOMEPearl is a simple character yet complexed. Simple in the fact that she is a good wife and mother, as well as, a working class, Christian woman – a woman of strong faith. Her faith overshadows her fears, gives her a confidence that won’t allow her to backdown when she confronts injustice, and shields her inadequacies, personal desires, and secrets hidden within her heart. Her secrets – though simple and common in human nature, make her complexed as she hides her hurts, shame, and private conversations she dares to hold only with herself and God: secrets hidden in her heart that she has committed to take with her to her grave. Her work and raising of her children keep her preoccupied from the things that she has deceitfully convinced herself that she must hide. Her simplicity can be found in her likes and loves: family, people, church, good food, and good music. Though she has extroverted qualities, she is most comfortable being all by herself, standing - barefoot - cooking in a big, beautiful kitchen, which makes her powerful, a dreamer, simple, a woman with sex appeal, and not necessarily so complexed.

Earl Johnson (Principal Lead) (Lead): Male, 38-61WORK FROM HOME

A physically strong and mentally strong-willed working-class man, husband and father who is often blinded by his lack of ability or desire to multi-task or to think outside of his own, self-made box. At times he appears to be far more religious than spiritual. His single-minded nature makes him unfit and sadly incapable of analyzing his own self-proclaimed, prophetic dreams. His strong-willed nature cripples him from achieving the sincere, good intentions of his heart.

Ethnicity: African American
