Synopsis:

“STUCK IN YOUR HEAD” by James Walker

A self-conscious high schooler, steered by conflicting voices in her head (a hyper-stressed Angel Clown and a depressed Demon Bear) lies to impress her crush. And it totally works! At first. But she soon must learn how to stop letting the voices run the show and start listening to herself.

Character breakdown and script preview coming soon!

Audition Requirements:

All actors must prepare a one-minute memorized contemporary comedic monologue. We will also read from the script.
