Auditions for "A Behanding in Spokane"

Welcome to open auditions for "A Behanding in Spokane", a dark comedy written by Martin McDonagh and directed by Panos Sarantidis.
Please note that you must register in advance in order to participate. See below if you are unable to attend, but still wish to be considered.
The PLAY
"A Behanding in Spokane" follows Carmichael, a man who has spent 27 years searching for his missing left hand. His quest leads him to a small-town hotel, where a young couple, Toby and Marilyn, claim they can deliver it. Add in Mervyn, the hotel’s eccentric clerk, and what follows is a wild mix of tension, absurdity, and pitch-black humor.
AVAILABLE ACTING ROLES
Carmichael
Male, appears 40+. A bitter, intimidating loner looking for his hand.
Toby *we are seeking a Black actor for this role*
Male, appears 20-30. Street-smart but out of his depth. Fast-talking, charismatic, nervous.
Marilyn
Female, appears 20-30. Confident, sharp, pragmatic, but also vulnerable when the stakes rise.
Mervyn
Male, appears 30-40. Offbeat and quirky with childlike mannerisms.
BACKSTAGE TEAM
We are also looking for people to join our production team:
– Assistant Director
– Tech Operator (lights & sound)
– Set & Costume Designer
AVAILABILITY
You need to be available for all of the required dates. See the website (link below) for a list of dates.
