Actors should be local and able to commute to Old Saybrook for regular rehearsals and performances. We are not able to offer housing. Thank you.
The Sound Inside
Drama Works Theatre (Old Saybrook, CT) seeks a non-union actor to play CHRISTOPHER DUNN in The Sound Inside by Adam Rapp. A riveting miracle play that explores the limits of what one person can ask of another, this two-person play was presented on Broadway in 2019.
CHRISTOPHER is a somewhat self-absorbed Yale freshman with the ambition of becoming a writer. He enjoys sardonic humor and hates the internet--especially Twitter. He dislikes writing with his computer and so writes in longhand. He is not bothered by solitude. His relationship with Bella Baird, his creative writing professor, evolves into a friendship as he becomes more serious and honest.
Performances will be December 4, 5, 6, 11, 12, 13. Rehearsals will begin late October.
Kindly send a headshot and resume for consideration. Please be sure to confirm that you are local and able to commute for regular rehearsals and performances in Old Saybrook.

We are a volunteer theatre committed to the craft of great storytelling for the stage.
