Good news, folks! My theater company, InViolet Rep (www.invioletrep.com) is producing a workshopped reading of my play, The Oddyasee, this coming July (exact dates TBD, but looking at Monday, July 11th and Tuesday, July 12th). And so I'm writing you all now for two reasons:
1) to give you a headsup about the reading, and
2) to get your help with casting two of the roles that we can't cast within InViolet.
Here is the breakdown for the two roles I need to fill:
Ideally, the actor will be Persian American but open to an actor from any Middle Eastern or Southeast Asian country. Actor must have good comic timing.
If you know actors who meet these descriptions (or know someone else who might know actors who meet these descriptions), please let me know. We will be announcing the dates as soon as we have it confirmed, but please pencil in Monday, July 11th and Tuesday, July 12th as tentative dates. Thanks for your help, and hope to see you in July!
best,
Sara

Beth sits at a laptop late at night, typing away to a faceless society. Slowly, her facade of humanity melts, uncovering the inner cruelty she inflicts upon others and herself. Focusing on the destructive nature of relentlessly driven people encumbered with everyday failure, DEAD PEOPLE fuses together elements of surrealism, dance, horror and cinematic video projections, to uncover the darkness inside us that emerges when the lines of reality begin to deteriorate
