Equity actors for roles in TINY BEAUTIFUL THINGS (see breakdown).
Based on the best-selling book by Cheryl Strayed, Tiny Beautiful Things follows the relationships between an anonymous advice columnist named Sugar and the many real-life readers who pour out their hearts to her. Academy Award nominee Nia Vardalos (My Big Fat Greek Wedding) adapts Strayed’s book into an enrapturing and uplifting play that surges with emotion and is called by Variety “a theatrical hug in turbulent times.” Tiny Beautiful Things is about reaching when you’re stuck, recovering when you’re broken, and finding the courage to ask the questions that are hardest to answer. Tissues recommended. Contains strong language and adult content.
Please prepare one dramedy monologue of your choice. Audition should not exceed 3 minutes. Bring an 8x10 headshot with an up-to-date resume cut to size and stapled to the back of your headshot.
