We're holding auditions for a new comedy MEAT by Robert Leverett, to premiere at the Tank NYC in December 2022!
At a luxury health facility, a staff of doctors, scientists, and robots assist patients' transition to a meat-free lifestyle, with the help of a blood-sucking tick whose bite induces a meat allergy in humans. Through spectacle, comedy, and a sci-fi spin, MEAT questions our ability to create lasting change. Written by Robert Leverett, Directed by Liza Couser.
AUDITION DATES: Sun 9/25 from 3:30-6:30 pm, Tues 9/27 from 12-3pm. You will be asked to read sides for your character. Zoom link and sides will be sent in advance.
