An inviting and engaging storyteller, The Host is the audience’s guide on this wild and crazy ride. LEAD. ACTORS OF ALL GENDERS AND LGBTQ+ PERFORMERS ENCOURAGED TO AUDITION.

[CLAY] Male. 40s. White. Handsome and well-built, a classic ‘leading man’ physicality and personality. A stunt man at the top of his game, he keeps his queerness hidden, fearing professional consequences.
