SEEKING:

ASF is casting a company of actors to play multiple roles in productions of Macbeth, To Kill a Mockingbird, Around the World in Eighty Days, and God of Carnage. The following are character breakdowns for some of the currently available roles in these plays. Note that most contracts will run from December 27, 2012 through May 19, 2012, HOWEVER, there is the possibility actors can be contracted for partial season. If actor is only available for partial season please make note on submission and let us know whether they can start on 12/27/12, 1/30/13, or 3/13/13.

ALAN RALEIGH; (40s) high-power defense lawyer in a pressure cooker situation at work; very “slick” puts work before family; streak of clarity and honesty; chauvinistic macho warrior ethic – “beat the shit out,” John Wayne; manipulates language for a living but believes in god of carnage.

Actor Two

Caucasian man, 35-40s. Actor Two will play Macduff in Macbeth and may double with either Phileas Fogg in Around the World in Eighty Days or Alan Raleigh in God of Carnage.
