NEW YORK NY 10019
Seeking the following only (read notice carefully; submit only if you are right for one/more of these roles, and you are available to audition in NYC, and you are free to work throughout the contract dates):
Bianca:
Caucasian woman, late 20s. Beautiful, loving younger daughter in this household. Production is set in the 1950s—Bianca always wears pink. Although she plays the part of the conventional 50s daughter/fiancée/wife, she knows and gets what SHE wants. The polar opposite of her sister Kate. Actress must have comic chops—Bianca’s manipulative, spoiled, always wants to be perceived by Dad as the victim with her sister. Actress must be great with Shakespeare verse.
Tranio:
Caucasian or Latin man, late 20s - late 30s. Comic servant who is smarter than his master. Quick thinker on his feet, very funny and imaginative; pretends to be his master (and loves living upscale). Actor must be great with Shakespeare verse.
Biondello:
Character is a man, 18-22, any ethnicity. Actors who look in their teens and are short in stature preferred. Biondello is a funny, sassy servant. Puck-like. Streetwise and smart—always wants to get ahead. He’s the junior servant to Petruchio. Tranio, the older servant, is always putting him in his place. Tells a bunch of stories about wild action offstage. Actor must be great with Shakespeare verse.
