Audition infoEclectic Full Contact Theatre is now accepting headshot/resumé submissions for principal actors and understudies for its upcoming world premiere production of “Socks & Co.” by Alexander Attea, running 11/6-11/21 at The Edge Theater at 5451 N. Broadway.
Casey is just trying to make ends meet working in a luxury sock store where the socks cost almost as much as their rent, and their manager is obsessed with her social media presence. Then an employee goes missing, the store’s tech bro owner starts acting stranger than usual, and the door to the back room now opens onto a portal to time and space! Can Casey solve the mystery, keep their job, and most importantly, make their rent? This brand new satirical farce explores the absurdity of trying to hold on to your humanity in a system that looks at it as just another commodity. The character breakdown below is how the characters' gender expressions are described in the script. EFCT encourages actors to audition for the role they most identify with, regardless of the character's placement on the gender spectrum. SEEKING: CASEY A new hire. Full of sometimes-nervous energy.
