Site Unseen Theatre Company and directors Jeff and Andrea Cronin are seeking an ensemble of actors to perform a site-specific production of Annie Baker’s Circle Mirror Transformation at the Phoenixville Rec Center.
What is this play about?
Five wayward souls in a small-town in Vermont gather for a community acting class. Over six weeks, they engage in intimate, sometimes awkward theater games that slowly reveal their vulnerabilities, secrets, and emotional lives, transforming their relationships and providing quiet, profound healing.
Characters:
MARTY - 55, female-presenting
A good (yet in-over-her-head) community rec center teacher trying to bring art to her small town one person at a time.
JAMES - 60, male-presenting
Marty’s husband, who is only in this class because his wife is running it. Their relationship started with sparks, but their differences have been putting a wedge between them over the years.
SCHULTZ - 48, male-presenting
Struggling through a divorce and still trying to discover who he is as a single man. He thinks he might be able to find it at the rec center drama class, and very-eagerly tries to form new connections.
THERESA – 35, female-presenting
She tried really hard to make it as an actor in New York, but never quite found her way in. She’s recently given up on that dream and settled into this new small town looking for something else. Needs to be proficient with a hula hoop.
LAUREN - 16, female-presenting
A moody teen with hopes of being a performer who enrolled in this class to start her serious acting training, without the knowledge of her parents.
(IMPORTANT: If we end up casting a minor as Lauren, all members of the cast and crew will be required to obtain the necessary background checks. By auditioning for the show, you will agree to obtain these clearances.)
