Seeking Filipina Mestiza/Mixed Asian + White Child Actor for Public Reading at The Tank

Seeking a half white mestiza Filipina, or mixed-race Asian/white actor aged 11-14 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:

LANEY, tween, tisoy, puti, half white-Filipina. From Brooklyn. Devoutly Catholic and wide-eyed. Halloween is her favorite holiday. She is in a 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.
