"Tom" Needed for Independence Community Theater production of "Sylvia"
by l8niter＠aol.com 19 Feb '20

19 Feb '20

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Independence Community Theater is seeking a male to play Tom in the theater's production of "Sylvia", directed by Annette Fernandez. Tom - is a fellow dog owner whom Greg meets at the park Would need to be available for minimal rehearsals until tech week and show dates: May 1, 2, 8, 9, 10, 15, & 16, 2020 Show Synopsis: Greg is a man of middle age, a restless empty-nester, tired of his job in finance, looking for meaning in his life. Sylvia is an exuberant and beautiful lab/poodle mix, astray in Central Park, looking for a new home. When they meet, it is love at first sight. But his wife Kate, a busy rising star in the public school system, is looking forward to some independence now that the couple no longer has children to care for, and is less than thrilled by the clever and coquettish canine who jumps, slobbers, sits on her couch, and takes Greg’s attention away from his marriage. Sylvia exerts such a charismatic pull that Kate’s friends are appalled, the marriage counselor advocates divorce and euthanasia, and even Greg’s new dog-owner friend warns him of the splintering effect a dog can have on the relationship between husband and wife. It is only when Greg is prepared to make the ultimate sacrifice that Kate is able to see Sylvia not as a threat, but as a new member of her family. A.R. Gurney’s Sylvia is a smart, silly, sophisticated, and occasionally salty comedy about relationships, nature, and growing older. If interested, contact Annette Fernandez via email at annette.fernandez@yahoo.com.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"E*veryone has been told that politics and religion are two subjects that should be off limits at social gatherings..."~~~**NY Times Review* *Beck Center is pleased to announce auditions for DISGRACED, the winner of **the 2013 Pulitzer Prize for Drama by Ayad Aktar.* *Director Christopher Mirto will see interested actors by appointment on Sunday, March 8th and Monday March 9th. To reserve your audition appointment please call 216-521-2540 ext 10. * *DISGRACED opens in Beck Center's intimate Studio Theatre space on May 29th and continues through June 28th.

Callbacks will likely occur the weekend of March 14th.* *About The Play* Amir Kapoor is a successful Pakistani-American lawyer who is rapidly moving up the corporate ladder while distancing himself from his cultural roots. Emily, his wife, is white; she's an artist, and her work is influenced by Islamic imagery. When the couple hosts a dinner party, what starts out as a friendly conversation escalates into something far more damaging. *Critic's Response* *"DISGRACED...a vitally engaged play about thorny questions of identity and religion in the contemporary world, with an accent on the incendiary topic of how radical Islam and the terrorism it inspires have affected the public discourse. In dialogue that bristles with wit and intelligence, Mr. Aktar...puts contemporary attitudes toward religion under a microscope, revealing how tenuous self-image can be for people born into one way of being who have embraced another." {NY Times}* *"...blistering social drama about the racial prejudices that secretly persist in progressive cultural circles..." ~~~Variety* *"What makes DISGRACED impressive is that Aktar, having invented educated intelligent characters, lets the burgeoning mess articulate itself through their interaction....you rarely feel the playwright nudging them in the right direction."~~~Village Voice* *Character Breakdown* *EMILY*: White female; early-30s; artist; intelligent; her work is inspired by Muslim faith; married to AMIR, though the seams of their marriage are starting to wear. Charming, easy to talk to, and ready for a major leap into the art world. Level-headed and quick to diffuse uncomfortable conversations, especially when interacting with her husband. *AMIR*: South Asian male; around 40 years old; corporate lawyer; married to EMILY; complicated relationship to his Muslim identity; born in America; tough, dark streak, passionate about beliefs. Though a successful lawyer, things have been hard for this him since 9/11; he is quickly put into a stereotypical box because of the color of his skin. *Looking for an actor with similar ethnic background and/or experiences.* *ABE*: South Asian male; around 20 years old; passionate about social justice; arrogance of youth; nephew to AMIR. Parents immigrated from Pakistan to the United States when he was eight years-old. Also has a complicated relationship to being South Asian in America but has tried to assimilate superficially. By then end of the play he does an about-face and zealously embraces his identity, fighting against the “terrorist” stereotype. *Looking for an actor with similar ethnic background and/or experiences.* *JORY:* Black female; mid- to late-30s; successful corporate lawyer and colleague in AMIR’s firm; has everything it takes to become partner: smart, commanding, no- nonsense. Married to ISAAC. Confident and can hold her own in a fight. She chooses order over justice. *ISAAC*: White, Jewish male; around 40 years old; art gallery owner interested in EMILY’s artwork; married to JORY. Charming, funny, a little pretentious, clear about his views and what he likes and dislikes. Likes to argue but doesn’t know when to back down.
