Job description

Seeking Equity actors for roles in 2027 season show: "The Man Who Killed The Cure". Please see breakdown below.

About the project

About the project: Inspired by the life and death of Dr. Max Gerson, one of the pioneers in the world of natural healing. When Max and his business partner, Rudy, escaped Nazi Germany, they had no idea what awaited them in New York. While Rudy partners with large pharmaceutical companies to treat his patients, Max is determined to let the world know there is a more natural and cheaper route to a cure! This gripping fact-based story delves into a world of medicine where the end goal is not healing, but profit. Notes: The play takes place in Hamburg, Germany and in New York City from the late 1930s to the late 1950s. The play is presented by an acting ensemble where each actor plays multiple roles with minimal costume changes. Actors use physicality and dialects to create different characters.
