Searching for a small cast of dramatic actors, amateurs welcome, who have some experience, for a one-act straight drama, The 'Us' Diners". The show will deal with loss, adult themes, and minimal cursing. This project is just getting off it's feet, with rehearsals and auditions at Manhattanville College. Some of the following roles may be double cast. The show will be done black box style and each actor will receive a filmed version of the show. The names below are temporary and the director is more than willing to look for all orientations, genders, races, and looks to qualify for each and every role.
Please prepare 2 one minute contrasting monologues.
