What they are looking for
EnActe Arts is casting Dog Mom, a play about Sarita, a recent divorcee rebuilding her life in a tiny Brooklyn apartment when a scruffy stray shows up at her door. It is part of a National New Play Network rolling world premiere. Roles include Nell, a woman in her mid-50s or older; Ruben, a man in his mid-50s or older; and a male swing in his 30s or older, plus understudies for Sarita, who is South Asian, and for Dog. Auditions are November 21 and 22 in Sunnyvale by appointment, with a form to fill out first, and consist of readings from the script. Bring a headshot and resume; fluency in English is required. Performances are in March 2027 in Palo Alto and September in Houston, with travel and housing provided. It is paid: $20.50 per hour, non-union. Apply through the original listing.
Castina's tip
Book your 30-minute slot and fill out the form before you arrive, since they ask for it in advance. You will get sides once you are scheduled, so read them several times and look for the gentle humor in a second-chance story. If you are going in for Nell or Ruben, note that those actors also play the ex's dog and the ex. Confirm you can work in Palo Alto in March and in Houston in September.
