Synopsis: Welcome to William’s Earworm meetings, a support group for those that are plagued by a catchy tune that won’t let loose. Each week, the members come together to attempt to decipher the reasons why they each have their unique songs stuck with them. It’s at these meetings that Chris meets Rachel, and they quickly discover that the key to alleviating their Earworms, may just lie in each other. But when they finally discover the silence, how much are they willing to sacrifice to keep the quiet?

Written by Cincinnati native, David Bryant, Earworm deals with themes of mental health, addiction, relationships, and how we perceive the world around us.

Available Roles:

  • William: 30s to 40s, Earworm counselor, carries an aura of confidence and wisdom. William is the professor type and always wants to teach somebody something.
  • Bob: mid 20’s to 30’s, Chris’s roommate, works night-shift, and a huge nerd. Bob is abnormal in all the best ways. He has unique tastes and is always caring and optimistic.
  • Tucker: mid 20 to 30’s, irritable, opinionated, and looking for answers. He dresses well and people often mistake him for being gay. Tucker is not closed minded, but he gets frustrated easily.
  • Olivia: mid 20’s to 30’s, shy, awkward, and a hopeless romantic. Olivia puts her crushes on a pedestal but can’t muster enough courage to talk to them, let alone ask them out. She dresses in loose, baggy free-spirited clothing.

The roles of Chris and Rachel have been cast

All roles will receive a stipend at the close of production
