I had to share this with you, because this is what I (and I am sure many other actors) deal with on a daily basis. I have removed the names and details of the project to protect those individuals involved. Please, where do I sign?
____________________________________________________________________
**Insert name of Theatre here** are casting Macbeth. **Founder's name**, founder. Project will be rehearsed/workshopped June-July (three to five rehearsals per week); work-in-progress will be shown mid-to-late July at a storefront space at **location**. in Greenpoint, Brooklyn.
Seeking—Actress: 18-49, any ethnicity. Producer's statement: "Seeking a beautiful actress who doesn't give a f*** about 'acting,' who thinks that the whole idea is outdated and demeaning, who seeks new horizons ripped from the bowels of the future and wants to be in a really bad ass theater piece that will deliver mind-blowing numbness defying poetic love. Sort of like Easy Rider circa 2011 and no drugs. I'll bring the writing, you bring the horsepower. Experienced, trained, mature and wants to tour the world."
Email pix & résumés ASAP to **email**. For more information, visit **website** No pay, but meals provided.
