Indicate in the subject line: “BUS STOP [Virgil] / AEA Submission”
PLEASE NOTE: From the director: Seeking SAVVY, LIVELY, SMART stage actors to enjoy the rewards of Inge’s timeless comic drama about an explosive gathering of very LIVELY SPIRITED FOLKS in a diner in the middle of a snowstorm in the middle of NOWHERE- KANSAS in 1955. The production will emphasize the immediacy and behavioral RICHNESS of these characters and their world. BUS STOP is a classic for a reason, it LIVES ON STAGE when done properly, in other words, NOT LIKE A MUSEUM PIECE. Though the writing is specific to a certain time and region of America, all ethnicities are welcome in the spirit of NO COLOR casting, rather than to do a comment or TAKE on the culture of the play.
SEEKING:
Virgil Blessing
Male, 40s, Bo's “guardian” and care-taker, calm to BO's frantic, like the BIG BRO we all dream of having. There could be something inscrutable, almost mysterious about VIRGIL, but clearly he is a soulful man with a huge heart. Actor should play GUITAR and sing, in rustic style. Same WESTERN REGIONAL ACCENT as BO.
