Equity actors for chorus singer parts in THE UNTITLED UNAUTHORIZED HUNTER S. THOMPSON MUSICAL (See breakdown).
All races, ethnicities, genders and abilities are encouraged to submit.
All roles will be understudied.
Hunter S. Thompson changed journalism and defined counterculture. Equal parts philosopher, clown and genius, he was armed and dangerous with a typewriter as his preferred weapon. In relentless pursuit of the meaning of the American Dream during an era of political and social upheaval, Hunter S. Thompson cultivated a new form of journalism that ― for better or worse ― injected his subjective view into the heart of the story. This musical is a heartfelt trumpet call to the moral idealists, the outraged, the outlaws and the outsiders. There will be peacocks, there will be breakdowns, there will be fireworks.
