What they are looking for
Mike Cruzcosa and Jan Duffin are casting Speed Therapy, an original 25-minute piece for the Short Fringe at FronteraFest 2027 at Hyde Park Theatre in Austin. They need three actors: a Therapist, 30s and up, with a calm, authoritative presence; Client A, mid 30s to 50s, opinionated, high-energy and a little panicky; and Client B, 50s and up, a confident, scary-smart peacemaker. They prefer actors who like to collaborate creatively with the directors, and some rehearsals may happen over video chat. The performance date is in late January or early to mid February, with a mandatory tech rehearsal the Sunday before and possibly two more shows. It is paid, with a modest stipend. First-round interviews are on Zoom, so email your name, phone number, one headshot, a short resume and your weekday availability. Apply through the original listing.
Castina's tip
Since round one is a Zoom conversation, be ready to talk about how you like to collaborate with directors, which is what they value most. The roles are described with Enneagram types, so read up on your character's type and bring an idea of how to play it as fast-paced comedy. Send one current headshot and a short resume. Make sure the Sunday tech rehearsal date works for you.
