We are doing a two week workshop and in-progress showing of “East Toward Home,” a new movement-theater piece in development in New York City in late July – early August. Performers will be paid a stipend at market rate for rehearsals and performance.
Starting immediately, we are looking for an actor to play the role of Woody (M, age range 40 – 60) Based on Woody Guthrie, telling stories adapted from historical anecdotes of his life. Performer needs strong storytelling, acting, and singing skills. Good guitar self-accompaniment skills are a definite bonus, though not absolutely necessary.
AND/OR
YOUTH (age range 20 – 40) – Fleeing from a New York Jewish left-wing background, a Woody Guthrie wanna-be, streetwise but book-smart, on a quest for his identity on a quest for a sense of self. A searcher, recounting his adventure hitch-hiking around America following in the footsteps of Woody Guthrie, his cultural hero, looking for his own voice. Moves/dances well, with good folksinging voice. Youthful.
