BREAKDOWN
Synopsis: Twenty years ago, Pastor Paul’s church was nothing more than a modest storefront. Now he presides over a congregation of thousands, with classrooms for Sunday School, a coffee shop in the lobby, and a baptismal font as big as a swimming pool. Today should be a day of celebration. But Paul is about to preach a sermon that will shake the foundations of his church’s belief. A big-little play about faith in America— and the trouble with changing your mind.
Seeking:
Pastor - Paul: 40 - 50, male presenting. Pastor of a very big church; professional in demeanor, definitely does not have the stereotypical televangelist vibe.
Pastor’s Wife - Elizabeth: 40-50, female presenting. Pastor Paul's wife; an important leader of the church; resolute and actually quite angry at Paul; she holds her cards close to her chest until she doesn't.
Elder - Jay: 40-70, male presenting. Collegial, a long-time friend of Paul's; the diplomat, trying his best to make all parties happy.
Associate Pastor - Joshua: {CAST} 25-45, male presenting. Fiery, passionate, associate pastor of the church. A bit green, but definitely charismatic and very earnest. Only seeking understudies and possible emergency replacements.
Congregant - Jenny: 27-60, female presenting. Devoted congregant of the church, otherwise barely making ends meet. Single mother; whip-smart and honest; has a lot of questions for Paul and the direction he's taking the church.
Requirement for proof of vaccination/negative test.
Everyone entering the audition venue (i.e., venue employees, Equity members, non-members, casting personnel, creatives, producers, musicians, COVID Safety Managers, etc.) will be required to undergo a symptom check and provide one of the following prior to entry into the venue:
- Proof of full vaccination. “Fully vaccinated,” as defined by the CDC, is more than 14 calendar days following receipt of a final dose of an FDA or World Health Organization authorized or approved vaccine.
Two-ply cloth face masks, surgical masks, singer’s masks and respirators (N95, KN95 or KF94) will be allowed for face coverings. Single-ply face masks, gaiters and bandanas are not acceptable face coverings. Everyone in the holding room and audition room will always wear a face covering as described above, except for the actor when they are actively auditioning. The time spent unmasked should be as minimal as possible. Face coverings must be worn correctly (covering the nose and mouth). Singer’s masks can be found at www.broadwayreliefproject.com/singersmask.
If the risk level for Savannah is trending upwards and may rise to High (Red) we will contact members with appointments at least 24 hours before the first audition appointment time to let them know there is a chance that the auditions may need to be postponed or cancelled. All members with appointments will be notified if the auditions must be postponed or cancelled.
We encourage members to prepare for their audition at home, to the extent that they can (e.g., get dressed, hair/make-up, etc.) to avoid crowding in bathrooms and dressing rooms. Additional information required in notice:
Holding/Audition room information:
The audition room is 2,275 square feet and can accommodate no more than 22 individuals at a time.
