Seeking Equity actors for roles in "Kinky Boots."
Synopsis:
Charlie Price has reluctantly inherited his father's shoe factory,
which is on the verge of bankruptcy. Trying to live up to his father's
legacy and save his family business, Charlie finds inspiration in the
form of Lola, a fabulous entertainer in need of some sturdy stilettos.
As they work to turn the factory around, this unlikely pair find that
they have more in common than they realized... and discover that when
you change your mind, you can change your whole world.
