Witty, comical hit of NYC’s Ensemble Studio Theatre Festival’s First Light Festival. When a team of scientists studying toque macaques monkeys in Sri Lanka are invaded by a crew of documentary filmmakers, sexual tensions erupt and egos collide. Incorporating puppet-work to create a uniquely theatrical world of primate behavior, the play ponders the line between empathy and anthropomorphism.

Equity Principal Auditions have already been held. Still seeking the following only:

Dr. Paul Rellegame:

40s. Scientist from India, with a peaceful demeanor. Actor also plays (through puppetry) the monkey Rambo, Noc’s ally.

Dr. Anna Sunilagatte:

Vinitha:

Sri Lankan Tamil woman, 30s-40s.The camp cook. Dark-skinned. Actress also plays (through puppetry) Tulip, a high-status female monkey.
