The Altruists focuses on a passionate (if sometimes eccentric and misguided) group of young radicals, who protest and march for anything and everything that can be protested or marched for. Their morality is put to the test when the group leader's prescription-pill-popping-soap-opera-star girlfriend, Sydney's actions thrust them into dire circumstances.
I'm playing said prescription-pill-popping-soap-opera-star, Sydney. She's probably my favorite role to date. It's a massive part with some intimidatingly long monologues, but I'm really, really enjoying exploring her.
I don't want to say too much and ruin the surprise, but I'm dying to share some of the fun we've been having... Want a sneak peak?
Meet Gretchen- the coolest Stage Manager on earth.
And her trusty sidekick, Walter- the coolest Assistant Stage Manager that ever did live.
Director Josh Penzell (far right) working his magic in the rehearsal room with the cast (from L to R) Ana Bell as Cybil, Django Palty as Ethan, me as Sydney (with no pants) and Jeremiah Maestas as Ronald.
My show-boyfriend and I wearing each other's pants on break. Just a typical day at the office....
So. Much. Love. Right. Here. One of the coolest casts I've ever worked with, ever.
We catch naps whenever we can...
