Fluxedo Arts, LLC is casting THE SECRET GOSPEL OF SAINT MARK at Author's Playhouse in Bayshore on Monday, January 2. Evening rehearsals will begin immediately, with evening performances scheduled for weekends throughout March at Author's Playhouse.
The work, adapted from the Gospel of Mark and other ancient texts, is an original neo-medieval folk-opera for an all-male cast. This edgy new musical depicts a troupe of players who re-enact the Passion, revealing first-century Christian mythmaking and hostility toward Jews.
There are seven principal characters who must act and sing very well:
TRUTH portrays Jesus of Nazareth. Full or partial nudity is required for this role.
COURAGE portrays Peter, Barabbas and Simon of Cyrene.
FAITH portrays Mary of Magdala and other female roles.
MIGHT portrays Pontius Pilate, James and the Roman Historian Tacitus.
WEALTH portrays Joseph Caiaphas, John, Joseph of Arimathea & the Jewish Historian Josephus
LEGACY is primarily the Narrator and portrays Miriam, Jesus' mother.
MYSTERY portrays various Young Men and the Risen Christ. Full or partial nudity is required for this role.
Additional male singers are needed to appear as Roman Soldiers, Disciples, Women, etc.
Performers are asked to prepare a contemporary theater-related song with Karaoke accompaniment. Please call for additional information and an appointment: 631-587-0339, or send picture/resume: fluxedo@msn.com.
