Info About the Show:

This is not your Mother's Chekhov. Emily Ann Banks’ The Seagull is a bold, contemporary reimagining of Chekhov’s classic — 70% adaptation, 30% an original thrill ride. A darkly funny, visceral exploration of art, love, and the violence of creation. In this version, art devours its creators and muses alike, leaving behind a haunting question: what’s left when the performance ends? 

Please note that this adaptation contains graphic and provocative themes that lend itself to shock value. 

Seeking:

NINA: (Female, Gender Nonconforming). Any age. The rising star. The tenderness of Ophelia with the passion of Pearl. This role will have brief moments of implied simulated sex and violence. NO nudity. There will be an Intimacy and Fight Director attached to this production. 

DORN: (Any Gender). Late 20s, Early 30s. The Doctor. Your kooky uncle. 

Submissions are due by December 23rd. Offers will be sent on January 3rd. We need your headshot, resume and self-tape of the provided sides.
