VIDEO AUDITIONS for Two Short Plays About Logical Madness: A New Musical

Video auditions for a staged reading of Two Short Plays About Logical Madness, a new musical by Noah Masterson and L.B. Deyo. Seeking actors for dual roles: THREE African-American women or woman-identifying to play dual roles as sorority girls and Dahomey Amazon warriors ONE African-American MALE to play both a college dean and Sidi Mubarak Bombay, the famed explorer and guide All actors must be willing to sing! About the Play: Two Short Plays About Logical Madness is a sharp, surreal theatrical diptych exploring obsession, reason, and the fine line between brilliance and delusion. In Act I, two playwrights —both named Edmund—compete for the same theatrical residency, only to be outwitted by the sorority girls they try to impress. Act II leaps across time and space to 19th-century Dahomey, where a feverish Captain Richard Burton and his companion Bombay confront jungle terrors, a hallucinatory double, and the implacable Amazons of West Africa. With wit, music, and mounting madness, the play satirizes the perils of reason divorced from reality and the absurdities we commit in its name.
