Dot
by Ground Floor Theatre
Mar. 21 (2022)
The holidays are always a wild family affair at the Shealy house. But this year, Dotty and her three grown children gather with more than exchanging presents on their minds. As Dotty struggles to hold on to her memory, her children must fight to balance care for their mother and care for themselves. This twisted and hilarious new play grapples unflinchingly with aging parents, midlife crises, and the heart of a West Philly neighborhood.
Ground Floor Theatre Announces Additional Auditions for
DOT
by Colman Domingo
Ground Floor Theatre is holding additional auditions for Dot, written by Colman Domingo and directed by Lisa B. Thompson.
GFT is seeking actors for the role of Fidel, a Kazakh. Mid to late 20s. Fidel is a care giver from Kazakhstan. He came to this country with absolutely nothing and forged a life for himself. Fidel is a quiet healing presence in the play that is always there. An unsung hero. He has forged an unlikely bond with Dotty—despite both their difficulties in expressing themselves. English is his second language. He is the only one who allows Dotty to express how she really feels because he is an outsider. He is also seeking what all of the characters are struggling to find: a new description of home.
The actor who plays Fidel should be of Kazakh, LatinX or, AAPI decent. Must be able to do a Russian/Eastern European accent.
Auditions will be a reading from the script; sides will be sent in advance. Auditions will be held on March 21 from 6 - 8 by appointment only at Ground Floor Theatre. For an appointment, please email Lisa Scheps at lisa@groundfloortheatre.org.
All positions are paid an honorarium.
Ground Floor Theatre is committed to inclusivity and as such, unless specifically called for in the script, we cast without consideration to ability, race, ethnicity, gender identity, sexual orientation, size, or shape.
Performances May 12th – 28th, 2022 with rehearsals beginning April.
