Embezzlement...Forgery…Fraud…High School. Based on the award-winning novel, How I Paid for College tells the hilarious yet heartwarming tale of seventeen-year-old Edward Zanni, a feckless Ferris Bueller type, who is Glee-fully Peter-Panning his way through life with his screwball theater friends. When his businessman father remarries and pulls the plug on Edward’s dreams, the aspiring thespian turns to a life of disorganized crime. Performed by one actor playing dozens of roles, the play is a tour-de-force monologue with songs, or a “monologsical.” Author Marc Acito returns to the Hub to adapt his popular novel fresh from winning the Helen Hayes Award for Outstanding New Play for his comedy Birds of a Feather, which had its world premiere at the Hub last season. How I Paid for College is a story for anyone who’s ever had a dream…and a scheme.
Seeking local Virginia / DC / Maryland actors for the following:
EDWARD ZANNI
Seeking adult actor 18+ to believably play 17. Is the boy-next-door type – if you lived next door to a theater. Half Italian and half Irish, good looking, and charming. Feckless in a fun Ferris Bueller way, Edward longs to go to Juillard to study acting and indeed has the talent to get in. He’s school-smart but naïve and hapless when it comes to the ways of the world. He has an emotional vulnerability and insecurity that he masks with fast talk and wisecracks. As a monologue with songs, the play requires the actor to play dozens of characters, command the stage alone for 2 hours and be able to sing musical theater songs. The actor can be either a tenor or a baritone.
