SEEKING

Equity actors for roles in GRISWOLD.

TRACK 1: African-American, male, late 20s early 30s, doubles 10+ widely different characters. Including TYRONE, a gay man in his early 30s, from Texas, who takes his case to the Supreme Court. As well as, P.T. BARNUM, circus barker, doctor, Supreme Court Judge, gay waiter, lawyer, and more.

This ironic and playful 3-actor ensemble chronicles the late-career of ESTELLE GRISWOLD and the 1960s legal battle that led to the historic privacy ruling which became foundational in striking down anti contraception laws, anti-abortion laws, anti sodomy laws, and later giving legal status to same-sex marriage. This will be GRISWOLD's first full production.
