about the  play......

Aaron Sorkin's  (B'Way's "A Few Good Men" and TV's "West Wing" and "Sports  
Night") newest play details in semi-Documentary fashion perhaps the 20th  
Century's most famous and infamous invention.... Television. He theatrically  pits 
inventor Philo Farnsworth and media mogul David Sarnoff in a rollercoaster  
blend of reality and fiction---encompassed by fascinating information every step 
 of the way as we journey back to the 1920's and 1930's to witness this 
birth. 19  actors play over 150 parts as this captivating drama plays out in front 
of our  eyes.

Roles: Director Scott  Spence seeks a versatile cast, many of which double 
and triple. "The Farnsworth  Invention" is populated by over 100 characters 
played by 13 men, 4 women, and 2  boys. The adult actors range from 20 years of 
age to 60ish. The two boys should  be in the 10 to 13 range---voices yet to 
change. ALL ROLES ARE OPEN!  There will be 2 or 3 AEA contracts offered. All 
actors 18 and over are  compensated. 

Preparation:  Please arrive shortly before 7PM to fill out some minor 
paperwork. NO  Appointments necessary. Bring headshots and resumes if available.  
Monologues are not required but are helpful. Please indicate upon signing in if  
you have a monologue prepared. Monologues should be 45 to 60 seconds ideally.
