LIke Peeling an Onion - Charles Curtis Productions
NYC playwright and director Charles Curtis is now casting for the NYC premiere of his work, LIKE PEELING AN ONION, being performed on World AIDS Day 2015, and possibly extending to additional 2015 performances.
Like Peeling an Onion is the tale of David Greene, a recently deceased high school assistant principal. As his family and friends come to box up things of his life, they each deal with their grief in their own way. In the end, they realize they have more questions about his life than his death. This show speaks of the secrets we try to hide, and how in death, we have no more room for the secrets.
Rehearsals will be held two/three days a week, for approximately two hours in NYC. Auditions are by INVITATION ONLY. All interested actors should submit a hs/r to charlescurtis@live.com. Once materials are received, actors will be given a link to sign up for an audition time. Actors will be expected to showcase a dramatic monologue, and read sides from the script.
Stipend per performance.
David Greene (African- American: 25-35) – Narrator. Smart, charming, and witty character that navigates the audience through the story of his life, David is cultured, articulate, and worldly. David's teeters between what we know as masculine and feminine.
Anita Greene (African- American: 50+) – David’s mother. Strong and reserved, but tender.
James Greene (African- American: 50+) – David's father. Rough exterior, but is really a big teddy bear
Jr. Greene (African- American: 30-40) – David's older brother. Overly masculine, chauvinist
Ben Thomas (Any ethnicity: 25-35) – David’s Friend. Peacekeeper of the group, very laid back and pleasing
Ashley Thomas (African- American: 25-35) – David’s Friend and Ben's Wife. Controlling and a little bossy
Mike Peters (African- American: 20-30) – David's Coworker. Young, honest, innocent
