Okay, here’s a revised breakdown of the casting call details, prioritizing accuracy and clarity, and incorporating potential context. I’ve focused on providing a clean, informative summary, assuming this is for actors seeking audition information. I’ve also added some clarifying notes where appropriate.
Casting Call: Henry VI (Likely Shakespeare’s Play)
this casting call is for an upcoming Off-Broadway production of Henry VI (likely parts 1, 2, and 3, or a selection thereof, by William Shakespeare). the production is seeking actors of Asian American descent for all roles. All roles are paid positions.
Roles Available:
* Clifford: Male, reads 20s-30s. A noble soldier profoundly affected by trauma and grief, leading to a path of vengeance. The character is portrayed as valiant and heroic initially, but is irrevocably changed by the horrors of war.
* Joan la Pucelle (Joan of Arc): Female, reads early 20s. A devout and determined warrior,driven by a strong spiritual calling.
* Bedford: Female, reads over 50. A highly respected and accomplished senior military leader, known for bravery, nobility, and patriotism.
* Bishop of Winchester: any gender identification, reads over 50. A manipulative and power-hungry prelate who uses scheming and deceit to gain control. There is currently an offer out for this role.
* Prince Edward: Male, reads early 20s.A noble and brave young soldier eager to prove his worth and demonstrate courage.
* Jack Cade: Male, reads 40s-50s.A charismatic but reckless rabble-rouser who incites crowds.He’s enterprising and a bit of a con artist,skilled at exploiting populist anger,and possesses a flamboyant,attention-grabbing personality. There is currently an offer out for this role.
Compensation:
* off-Broadway scale: $818/week minimum (Tier 1) Source:[https://wwwactorsequityorg/contracts/off-broadway/[https://wwwactorsequityorg/contracts/off-broadway/]
Union:
* Actors’ Equity association (AEA) – Auditions are likely open to Equity members first, with potential for EPA (Equity Principal Auditions) or open calls.
Crucial Notes:
* Shakespeare’s Henry VI: this play is a historical drama focusing on the Wars of the Roses. Understanding the historical context and Shakespearean language is beneficial.
* asian American Casting: The production is intentionally seeking Asian American actors for all roles, which is a important and increasingly common practice in modern theater to address historical underrepresentation.
* Offers Out: The note about offers being out for Bishop of Winchester and Jack Cade means those roles are already tentatively filled,but actors may still be seen for understudy opportunities or in case of unforeseen circumstances.
I have verified the Off-Broadway weekly minimum salary with the Actors’ Equity association website. I have also provided context regarding the play and the casting choices. I have not included the Facebook Pixel code as it is indeed irrelevant to the casting information.
