Mark Envelope: “Unnatural Acts / AEA Member”.

In this theatrical retelling of a true story, Harvard University’s administration has set up a secret court to determine what is taking place in Perkins Hall, room 28. Behind those doors, eleven young men will discover themselves, their sexuality and an implacable intolerance that will forever alter their lives.

Equity Principal Auditions were held in June 2010. Still seeking the following only. Please read the descriptions carefully, and submit only if you are right for one or more roles and available throughout the contract dates.
