Company
Tyne Rafaeli, dir.; Keith Bunin, writer; Daniel Swee, casting dir.; Camille Hickman, casting assoc.
Seeking Equity actors for "The Coast Starlight." Synopsis: One day, six strangers board the Coast Starlight, the long-distance train that runs from Los Angeles to Seattle. They’re each reckoning with the questionable choices and wrong turns that set them on this particular journey. Although their literal trip is mostly solitary and silent, in their imaginations, they flirt and fight and fall in love with each other, and they try their best to help each other figure out the right path forward. Keith Bunin’s new play is a smart, funny and compassionate story about our capacity for invention and reinvention when life goes off the rails. Note: Adherence to all applicable New York State, New York City, and CDC public health and safety guidelines will be required of all employees. Actors must be fully vaccinated for Covid-19 to be considered for an offer of employment.
