casting immerdgency in NYC
NYC area thespians!
Moira Cutler is putting up a new play at Dixon Place and then at WOW Cafe Theatre, Asshole Differential . I've found that her past works such as MetaMeshugenaMorphosis and Sonofabitch Stew approach brilliance. [as I generally am sparing with praise, this is a ravin' review from me!]
She needs to quickly cast someone. If you're not auditioning yourself, please do let your NYC folks know about this production!

Hey all,
I just lost a cast member because of a family tragedy. I am holding an audition
this Sunday the 22nd between 1 and 4:00 to replace the role of Banana
Here is a description of the play:
Asshole Differential is the story of three prisoners, Monkey, Dog and Banana
incarcerated indefinitely on a boat moored in an unknown sea. They are enemies
of the state, held in captivity without having ever been charged. The prisoners
engage in sexually charged power games with the closeted gay guard in an attempt
to survive.
The guard serves a deposed political leader seeking to regain his
empire via the profit earned from snuff films made in the prison which reenact
his halcyon days hazing frat boys in an elite fraternity.
Asshole Differential mixes video, vaudeville , kung fu, and Chekhov, circus punk
and Brecht to explore sex, violence, and power in the context of a prison drama.
In terms of casting it is unimportant what the gender is of each actor for each
role as long as they suit the role and can play male or female it really doesn’t
matter. People of color and transpeople encouraged to audition.
The Character to recast: (hint - this is a highly comedic but also poignant role)
Banana - (hermaphrodite) A linguist and international saboteur and spy turned
peace advocate. Banana is a human and fruit hybred mutant. Banana possesses
the unique capability of auto insemination being hermaphroditic. Banana has two
sides - a male and a female side - this is manifested on stage via the use of a
sock puppet on each hand. The two sides meet, fall in love and procreate
creating bananettes.
