BREAKDOWN
The Guthrie Theater is committed to equity, diversity and inclusion in all areas of our work, including the casting of our plays. We seek to hire actors who reflect our world to tell the stories we put onstage, and therefore strongly encourage people of underrepresented groups and diverse backgrounds to audition.
Seeking submissions for:
FANNY CAVENDISH
70's+. A faded movie star. A relic of culture past. Fanny is a broad, in the most glorious sense of the world. Raised in vaudeville, her tragedy is she cannot see the times are a'changin. There's a deep nostalgia at work, and her humor is grounded in old school joke patterns. Her passing at the end of the play is both the passing of a woman and an epoch. Actors of all ethnicities strongly encouraged to submit.
GWEN
18-early 20's. An heiress who doesn't want her inheritance. A rich girl. Spoiled. Yearning. Funny as shit. Must get style and self-mockery and play. Also someone whose heart can break on a dime. Actors of all ethnicities strongly encouraged to submit.
Storyline: Set in 1920s Manhattan, this American classic (loosely based on the legendary Barrymore family) centers on three generations of actors, each at different stages in their careers. From an aging grande dame to a promising ingénue, together they confront a choice between secure, yet dull domesticity and an erratic, egocentric yet potentially fulfilling life on the stage.
