Capital Rep is seeking local actors for 2 great parts in the upcoming production of Sharr White’s, THE TRUE.



Equity and non-union actors will be considered.



Synopsis: Peek behind the curtains in Sharr White’s fictional drama about the blunt, true-blue defender of Albany’s Democratic Party machine, Dorothea “Polly” Noonan. Politics is personal for Noonan, especially now, “mayor-for-life” Erastus Corning II, is battling for party control, while at the same time fighting the fiercest primary challenge of his life. The True is an intimate portrait of betrayal and the bounds of love, loyalty and female power in the male-dominated world of 1977 patronage politics. “Riveting!” New York Theatre Guide



Seeking:

HOWARD C. “HOWIE” NOLAN – (40s) A popular state senator. Handsome, young, wealthy – loves politics and horses.  A likable guy with integrity. He is a real threat to Erastus.
