Seeking Filipina Actor

Seeking a self identified morena Filipina actor for a developmental public reading of new play “FREE! TONIGHT!!” by Emma Callahan. The reading will be a part of LimeFest, presented by the Tank, a festival of new works written by gender minority writers. This is a paid role, and actors will be paid out from a cut of the ticket sales. Find the character description below:

PRISCILA, morena Filipina, in high school. AKA Poppy, AKA Prescy, AKA P. Short, uses pessimism to hide a soft underbelly. Is self conscious of that belly, her belly, but thinks if she is tremendous enough no one will notice. Best friend to Siobhan, duh. Older sister to Laney. She is in a “sort of” Halloween costume. She’s going to her first party tonight.

PLAY BLURB HERE:

Tonight, Halloween night, Priscila, little sister Laney, and best friend Siobhan are seated on an uptown train at the threshold of booze, pills, and wet tongues: Their first party. But, a white lie alters the trajectory of the subway and their tenuous sisterhood. From treacherous brushes with uncanny characters, to quietly unraveling the contradictions of mestiza identity, the play takes us through the looking glass to question the privilege, safety, and belonging of Asian New Yorkers.
