BUG
A Play by Tracy Letts
Directed by Casey Thomas
We are seeking actors for an upcoming production of BUG, the gripping psychological thriller by Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Tracy Letts. Set in a motel room on the edge of reality, BUG explores loneliness, obsession, paranoia, and the terrifying space where love and delusion collide.
As a seemingly unlikely romance develops between two damaged individuals, their growing isolation gives way to a disturbing world of conspiracy, suspicion, and psychological unraveling.
We are looking for dedicated, adventurous performers ready to take on this intense, challenging, and deeply unsettling piece of contemporary theatre.
