RLT is holding auditions for actors ages 18-60s for our August workshop production of Gracie Gardner’s new and award-winning script Pussy Sludge, directed by RLT member Rachel Hall.
Performances will be at CitySpace in Easthampton, 8/4-8/6 & 8/11-8/13. Rehearsals will begin June 20th and will primarily take place in Sunderland.
Auditions are in-person April 14th & 15th in Sunderland, or over zoom April 10th-23rd. Schedule your audition slot/ask any questions by emailing Rachel & Ellen at reallivetheatre@gmail.com.
The show follows a woman who comes to call herself Pussy Sludge. Crude oil is coming out of her vagina, so she moves to a state park to deal with it out there, alone. During her time in the forest, many passersby come to offer their advice and possibly comfort. There is something (alive maybe) inside the sludge, and it is dangerous. Pussy Sludge is a fever-dream Queer love story/adventure about how we deal with trauma; how we heal and how we do not. It’s about bodily autonomy and bodily functions. It’s about the power of the erotic, pleasure, and shame. The purpose of Pussy Sludge is not to normalize bodies and what they can do, yet it does.
We have 7 roles available for actors of any race, any genders that can present as and are comfortable being referred to by the pronouns listed below, any physical mobility as long as they are excited to engage in a highly physical ensemble piece to the fullest extent of their unique capacity.
