Together Projects: Sexual Misconduct of The Middle Classes, What Happened Was…, and New Born, Breakdown

Seeking offstage understudies for:

One Understudy For:
Michael in "What Happened Was...": Male, 40s. A cynical and socially awkward paralegal, Michael presents himself as an intellectual "crusader" who is secretly writing an exposé on the legal profession. His condescending and detached demeanor hides a profound sense of professional failure and a desperate, almost hallucinatory level of self-interest.

Deadwood in "New Born": Male, L40s-E50s. A pragmatic and insightful tree surgeon who values professional competence and physical vitality. He struggles to reconcile his deep capacity for love with need for liveliness - though morally complicated, he remains courageous in his inability to live dishonestly.

One Understudy For:
Jackie in "What Happened Was...": Female, 40. An executive assistant at a New York law firm, Jackie is a lonely woman who projects a nervous, eager-to-please energy to mask her deep-seated isolation. Though she appears vulnerable, she eventually reveals a darker, more complex side through a violent children’s story she has written.

Light in "New Born": Female, 40, BIPOC. London-based illustrator and mother who harbors a quiet restlessness, finding her love of her family and her desire for freedom to be equally intense. Her search for release forces her to navigate what happens when a fantasy becomes a reality.

Already Cast:

"Sexual Misconduct of The Middle Classes"
Jon: Hugh Jackman - Male, L40s-E50s. Jon is an acclaimed novelist and university professor. He is a veteran of three failed marriages who finds himself increasingly restless and conflicted as he navigates a
complicated new relationship with a student.

Annie: Ella Beatty - Female. E20s. Annie is intelligent, introspective, and deeply affected by Jon’s work. She appears to be both admiring and uncertain around him, oscillating between confidence and awkwardness. Annie is drawn to intellectualism and seeks connection.

Understudy for Annie: Sophia Talwalker

Michael: Corey Stoll - See Understudy for breakdown.

Jackie: Cecily Strong - See Understudy for breakdown.

"New Born"

Rattle: Marianna Gailus - Female, 20s, white. A resilient and observant young woman, living a life of labor in 1890s Wyoming. Is powered by a defiant spirit and a deep sense of justice, leading her to challenge societal silences. A determination to call out moral ambiguity in others, causes her to confront her own judgments.

Understudy for Rattle: Sophia Talwalker.
