Seeking two actors:

Farhad – Male. Early twenties. Persian.
The play:
It’s 1976, and less than 3 years before her exile, the Empress Farah beckons Andy Warhol to begin pop-art portraits of the royals in Tehran. When a fascinating University student takes Warhol hostage in his hotel room (disguised as a room service waiter) to publicize his group’s demands, a life or death struggle ensues over revolution, responsibility, and the arts. Based on a true story, Andy Warhol in Iran hums with intelligence and humor by award-winning playwright Brent Askari.
What to expect:
We will have sides from the script available. Please arrive at 7:00 pm on October 14 or 15. You may perform a monologue if desired. We will ask you to read a monologue from the play. Also, we will match you with scene partners from the audition pool to read from the play with sides provided.
