SEEKING
Equity actors for roles in RED.
SYNOPSIS: In John Logan's critically-beloved, Tony Award-winning play, Master abstract expressionist Mark Rothko and his assistant, Ken, debate the nature of art and success. As Rothko's iconic paintings are created live onstage, the pair goes head-to-head in a thrilling battle over artistic purpose. But when Ken gains the confidence to challenge him, Rothko faces the agonizing possibility that his crowning achievement could also become his undoing. Raw and provocative, Red is a searing portrait of an artist's ambition and vulnerability as he tries to create a body of work that could define his legacy.
