Job Description

Seeking a self-identified morena Filipina actor for a developmental public reading of new play “FREE! TONIGHT!!” by Emma Callahan. The reading will be a part of LimeFest, presented by the Tank, a festival of new works written by gender minority writers. This is a paid role, and actors will be paid out from a cut of the ticket sales.

Character Description

PRISCILA, morena Filipina, in high school. AKA Poppy, AKA Prescy, AKA P. Short, uses pessimism to hide a soft underbelly. Is self-conscious of that belly, her belly, but thinks if she is tremendous enough no one will notice. Best friend to Siobhan, duh. Older sister to Laney. She is in a “sort of” Halloween costume. She’s going to her first party tonight.

Play Blurb

Tonight, Halloween night, Priscila, little sister Laney, and best friend Siobhan are seated on an uptown train at the threshold of booze, pills, and wet tongues: Their first party. But, a white lie alters the trajectory of the subway and their tenuous sisterhood. From treacherous brushes with uncanny characters, to quietly unraveling the contradictions of mestiza identity, the play takes us through the looking glass to question the privilege, safety, and belonging of Asian New Yorkers.

Requirements

  1. Actors must be free on Tuesday August 6th, 9:30 PM.
  2. Rehearsals will take place on Saturday August 3rd, from 9:30 AM - 12:30 PM, and Sunday August 4th, from 9:30 AM - 12:30 PM.
  3. There is also 4 hours of tech rehearsal yet to be scheduled.
  4. Rehearsals will take place at the Tank in Midtown, with possibility for additional rehearsal in Sunset Park, Brooklyn.

Application Instructions

Please send your resume and headshot, as well as a clip of a performance sample if available, to emmacallahan25@gmail.com . Full play is also available on request.
