Actor Needed for Staged Reading

LIFE AFTER GOD, the next CPI New Voices presentation, is looking for a male actor to step in to the role of Mark. A description is below. Looking for someone who fits the description, though would be willing to work with someone who isn’t a “perfect” match. As this is a staged reading, there is little memorization and only a couple of rehearsals to learn some basic blocking. The performance is Tuesday, Nov. 8 at 7:30 PM. If interested, please contact the director, Thurman Allen, via e-mail: microserf88@yahoo.com.

Mark – age: 28-35. Healthy and strong, Mark is described as having “Chippendale-like” good looks. A broker in a large firm, he is also dealing with having tested HIV positive.
