The Devil's Disciple, (OBway) Equity NYC EPA
About the project
Gingold Theatrical Group, prod.; David Staller, dir.-adapted by; George Bernard Shaw, playwright; Geoff Josselson, CSA, casting dir.; Gemma Josephine, casting asst.
Casting Equity actors for "The Devil's Disciple." Synopsis: The Devil's Disciple, written in 1896, is George Bernard Shaw’s classic comedy that employs the unlikely backdrop of the American Revolution. Some of Shaw’s most entertainingly iconographic characters fill out this story of revolt: of one country against another as well as of the inexhaustible battle of the human spirit, illustrating how we choose to create and define ourselves in the face of societal expectations and upheavals. In this play, we find ourselves in a 1777 New Hampshire village where Dick Dudgeon opens his heart to life. Along the way, everyone goes through profound changes of discovery, hope and strength. Gingold Theatrical Group will present this traditionally male-driven story with a cast of five diverse women who will interchangeably play all the roles, in order to more fully embrace Shaw’s examination of the struggle for women’s rights in this country and most specifically at this point in history. Each actor will take on multiple roles throughout the play.

OFFER) 20s-30s. Any race/ethnicity. To play Judith Anderson and the

dutifully fulfilled his obligation as a leader of the community and a
devoted husband. Only when faced with a crisis does his subconscious
need to be active does he shift gears and become a hero. Standard
American Accent. Major Swindon is by-the-book British Major, determined
to do what is right. The world is black and white to him with no room
for variation. His wealthy family bought his commission but, due to his
lack of popularity in England, he was sent to The Colonies to help
suppress the rebellion during the American Revolution. RP British

has no interest in anything aside from his immediate needs. Standard
