Production Description
Seeking vaccinated Equity actors for roles in Florida Studio Theatre's 2022 Summer Season (see breakdown).
Production
states: "For 'Ring of Fire:' The Music of Johnny Cash has had a
remarkable journey from Broadway to theatres across the world. The show
recently received a hot new re-conception by original 'Ring of Fire'
creator Richard Maltby, Jr. featuring a cast of five actor/musicians.
From the opening chords of vintage country to rockabilly, rock n’ roll,
searing ballads and gentle songs of love and deep faith, Ring of Fire
packs a score that provides a rich fabric in which to lay down the
story of Johnny Cash. The great bio-pic 'Walk the Line' told the story
of the events of Cash’s life and the incredible struggles and triumphs
of his life. Ring of Fire gives the music the spotlight, as a
core group of talented actor/musicians celebrate the songs that are such a part of our collective experience.
For
'Maytag Virgin:' A classic Southern love story. Maytag Virgin follows
Alabama school teacher Lizzy Nash and her new neighbor Jack Key over the
year following the tragic death of Lizzy’s husband. The play explores
the ideas of inertia and self-enlightenment and the bridge between the
two.
For 'Smoke and Mirrors:' This riveting mystery comedy will
keep audiences guessing as they go on location to an isolated island off
the Gulf coast to watch power hungry producer director Hamilton Orr
lure his timid screenwriter Clark into a scheme to get rid of the
insufferable star of their multi-million dollar film. The plot hinges on
the rehearsal of a suicide scene and the only witness to the murder is
Hamilton's wife Barbara, the film's quirky publicist and Clark's former
lover. The wily, eccentric sheriff unearths one surprise after another
until the final stunning revelation.”
