Special Note: We are seeking very talented actors and actresses with a profound flair for looking and sounding natural on camera (crying, angry fits, etc). This production will cover the entire gamut of a range of emotional displays by various characters.
Candidates must also have an incredible memory and recall for extensive blocks of dialogue for our “medical professional” characters and others.
If you’ve been looking for a challenge for your skills and abilities, this is it. Character Breakdowns are as follows:
