Now Casting: Nineteen year-old actor for lead role in Fountain Theatre’s world premiere ‘Fatherland’ | Intimate Excellent

The Fountain Theatre is casting the lead role for its upcoming World Premiere of Fatherland, a new play conceived and directed by Artistic Director Stephen Sachs. The riveting and powerful docu-drama opens February 22nd, 2024, and runs to March 30.

Fatherland tells the true story of a nineteen-year-old son who turned in his father to the FBI because of his dad’s role in the attack on the U.S. Capitol on January 6. Fast-moving, stylized, and theatrical, it is verbatim theatre. All of it comes from public statements, case evidence, and the official court transcript.

NOW CASTING:

[SON] 19, sensitive, bright, and soft-spoken. His gentle demeanor does not diminish his inner strength, determination. A liberal-minded socialist, his progressive beliefs fly against his father’s extreme right-wing manifesto. Emotionally and morally torn, he’s stunned and brokenhearted by what his father has become. Seeking a skilled young actor with a deep emotional well who can carry the complex lead of a play.

Rehearsal starts January 23, 2024. Opens February 22, ends March 30. Performances Friday & Saturday 8pm, Sunday 2pm, Monday 8pm.

Union Status: AEA. Rate of Pay / Contract: AEA 99-Seat Contract ($20/hour).
