CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS: FRINGE - ACTORS - TORONTO
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Open Season Theatre is proudly presenting 'Icarus Redux', a new play by
Sean O'Neill, as part of the 2009 Toronto Fringe Festival with a
possible remount in Montreal following Fringe.

About the show:
The myth of Icarus reimagined. A detached father and his volatile son
struggle to find communion in this poetic and darkly funny new play.

We are currently casting the following roles:

DAEDALUS (Male, 50s): A professor attempting to find a feeling of
purpose and hope following the death of his wife and the mental decline
of his only child, an adult son. Aloof and condescending, but also
self-aware and sensitive, the play is told from his perspective. 

THE BOY (Male, early 20s): Paralyzed by grief and anxiety following his
mother's death, the boy spends his days inside, struggling to keep his
mind clear. He is his own best friend, he talks to himself, he loses
himself in his fantasies BUT he is also extremely intelligent and
genuinely funny. His moments of clairty are reveletory and he is the
emotional propellor of the play. Battles daily to get his father to
engage in any sort of conversation, menial or explosive. 

PLEASE SUBMIT PHOTOS AND RESUMES TO openseasontheatre at gmail.com BY
MONDAY, MAY 18TH.

Equity members participating in this production will be signed to a
Fringe application and all net proceeds from the production will be
divided equally among the participants.
