BACKSTAGE

Didn't realize how many parts were in this play...


Casting Notice Description:
'Clive'

The New Group is casting "Clive." Synopsis: "Inspired by Bertolt Brecht's inflammatory play 'Baal,' 'Clive' tracks a dissipated songwriter in 1990s New York City from the hedonistic heights of seduction and consumption into an ecstasy of self-destruction. At once a celebration and a nightmare vision of life lived for pleasure, 'Clive' boasts an eclectic selection of classic American songs performed live." Ian Morgan, assoc. artistic dir.; Jonathan Marc Sherman, writer; Ethan Hawke, dir.; Judy Henderson, casting.
