About the Project

Equity actors for roles in Theatre's 2026 season show "Topdog Underdog". Only local talent will be considered.
SYNOPSIS: In Suzan‑Lori Parks’ Pulitzer and Tony Award winning play, brothers Lincoln and Booth are haunted by their past and obsessed with the street con game three‑card monte. A darkly comic fable named the best play of the last 30 years by The New York Times, Topdog/Underdog digs deep into brotherly love, a sibling rivalry foretold by the names their father gave the brothers as a joke, and the long game of American History, as it asks: can we ever change the cards we’re dealt?
