Seeking casting for:
MARTIANS: Any age, race or gender. Inquisitive, clownlike and lacking any words but great at getting their point across with sounds, body language and gibberish. The Martians love working together with audience members to figure out why colors are causing them to feel things. A little unsure of what to do but they know that their audience friends have the answers, whatever the response. The definition of yes, and.
Please submit the following:
· Headshot and resume
· Location (city/state)
· A 60 second video recording of you telling a short story of discovery involving no language but sounds and movement encouraged.
Please visit SyracuseStage.org/job-opportunities for video submission instructions.
