ORLANDO
SYNOPSIS: Playwright Sarah Ruhl adapts Virginia Woolf’s Orlando—once called “the longest and most charming love letter in literature,” written by Woolf for her lover, Vita Sackville-West. Orlando’s adventures begin as a young man, when he serves as courtier to Queen Elizabeth. Through many centuries of living, he becomes a 20th-century woman, trying to sort out her existence. This theatrical, wild, fantastical trip through space, time, and gender features the one and only Taylor Mac in the title role.
We are seeking to create a dynamic, sexy, intergenerational, body positive company of actors who challenge the binary and expand ideas surrounding gender identity and expression, to play the following roles. Actors of color, actors with disabilities and actors of all gender expressions are strongly encouraged to submit.
