Octet:

Jill Jacobs - Choreographer
Jad Bernardo - Music Director

Casting Breakdown: All eight actors are onstage for the duration of the show and sing unaccompanied, one voice to a part, in close and often dissonant harmony. Each actor also has a featured number or scene. We are looking for strong individual storytellers who can also blend as a tight ensemble. Strong sight-reading and a reliable ear are essential. A cappella, choral, vocal-jazz, and/or percussion experience is a big plus.

All roles are open to performers of any ethnicity, body type, and ability. We are looking for collaborative and rigorous performers who lead with generosity, specificity, curiosity, and humor.

The show includes frequent strong language and frank discussion of pornography, sex, online harassment, self-harm, suicidal thoughts, conspiracy thinking, and graphic/violent imagery.

*Due to the nature of this production, we are unable to accommodate a significant number of scheduling conflicts.”
