Birmingham Festival Theatre announces auditions for “SIGNIFICANT OTHER” by Joshua Harmon, directed by Jonathan Sweatt!
THE STORY:
Jordan Berman would love to be in love, but that’s easier said than done. So until he meets Mr. Right, he wards off lonely nights with his trio of close girlfriends. But as singles’ nights turn into bachelorette parties, Jordan discovers that the only thing harder than finding love is supporting the loved ones around you when they do. From the critically acclaimed writer who brought you Bad Jews.
The Director is seeking actors of all ethnicities appearing in their early twenties to early thirties for the following roles:
JORDAN: Neurotic, but extremely lovable and incredibly loyal; he's a talker; prone to loneliness, he likes to be around other people; left to his own devices, he can be a mess; Jewish. A great comedic actor.
LAURA: The epitome of the best friend; warm and caring; vibrant in her own right, but thinks of herself as more suited to friendship than romantic love.
VANESSA: Very salty; tends to see the glass half-empty until she unexpectedly finds love; with love comes all the things she swore she never wanted in life, like marriage. A great comedic actress.
KIKI: A no-filter girl; relishes her role as the audacious one of the group; Jewish. A stellar comedic role that requires the right balance of intelligence and warmth.
WILL/CONRAD/TONY: Plays either the love interest or obsession of several characters in the play. All the characters are very handsome and smart. A versatile actor who is great with comedy.
GIDEON/EVAN/ROGER: A great character actor who is adept at playing multiple roles. Plays both the chatty, gay coworker and the straight love interests.
Note that the role of HELENE, Jordan’s grandmother, has already been cast. All other roles are available.
