Seeking Equity actors for roles in "The Actors."

Synopsis: A new play written by Ronnie Larsen is one man's journey to end his loneliness and loss of his parents. Ronnie hires a set of "professional" actors to portray his folks and what sounds like the best solution at the time, turns into the folly of mishaps and the accidental creation of a real make-shift family.

Clarence is an out-of-work actor who has been hired as a replacement father for Ronnie. His ethics are put to the test as he finds the easiest well- well-paying gig of his life and he takes full advantage.
