AUDITIONING NOW: The Food of Love 2021--Radio Theater!
TIMING
Auditions are on a rolling basis and must be submitted by 1/2 for fullest consideration.
ABOUT
The Food of Love is a queer, gourmand adaptation of Edmond Rostand’s Cyrano de Bergerac. In the 2019-2020 versions, the audience dined in-person at MOCA on the same five courses the characters did in the story. For the 2021 version, audiences will tune in to five courses of radio theater and enjoy delicious recipes at home.
The classic story (and our adaptation) centers on a love triangle between the insecure but talented Cyrano (Alex, a chef), handsome but tongue-tied Christian (Chris, a real estate agent), and the intelligent and desirable Roxanne (Roxy, a museum curator). The trio is in their thirties per the story. While voice acting makes casting more flexible, you DO need to be able to handle Spice Girls lyrics gracefully.
Please note that the role of Alex (our Cyrano, he/him/his) has been cast (Andres D. Bravo, who is also co-writing the 2021 script).
DIRECTOR FRANK E SANABRIA II SEEKS...
