SEEKING

Equity actors for roles in LETTERS FROM MAX.

SYNOPSIS

Max Ritvo is an exceptional young man: a student at Yale, member of an experimental comedy troupe, and insightful poet. When he applies to Sarah Ruhl’s playwriting workshop, he finds not only a mentor, but a friend. When Max finds out his childhood cancer has returned, the two begin writing letters to each other. Their correspondence, both humorous and profound, explores questions of creating art, the meaning of work and the strange experience of being human. Based on these real communications, LETTERS FROM MAX is an emotional mosaic of letters, poetry, music and dialogue that showcases theatre’s ability to express the ineffable.

SEEKING

SARAH – A teacher who becomes a student (age roughly 35-45). Soft-spoken.
MAX – A student who becomes a teacher (age roughly 20-25). Not soft-spoken.
