Actors Needed
Ok Away My Flag - A Musical About Kosovo is an original musical scheduled for four performances
June 12-13 and 19-20 at Strawdog Theatre on Broadway, just south of Irving Park. Rehearsals will
begin in early March for particular scenes, expanding and intensifying through April and May. Principal
roles will pay $400 for the performances. Company roles will pay $200. Company members who are
also understudies will get $300.
The following are the characters they are casting:
The lead male, Arian, who is described briefly as ARIAN, an 18-year old Kosovar Albanian,
slight in build, very handsome boy, eager
Candidates for the Arian role need to be male, strong singers, Caucasian or Middle-Eastern
in appearance, and probably between the ages of 18-30. This is a good opportunity for anyone
who has played in ensembles and is ready to move up to larger roles, or for someone who has
played solo roles in smaller college or community productions.
Understudy for Fahri, who is described briefly as FAHRI, Arian’s buddy, resembles Arian
Candidates for the Fahri understudy do not need to be as strong as Arian because the role
is a smaller one, though significant.
They also need about five more males and two more females for the company. Auditions will
be on an individual basis beginning 14 February and continuing into early March, with priority
for candidates for the Arian role. As auditions are scheduled, I will send music for prep.
