Audition notice:
GLASS CEILING BREAKERS 3
Theater/ Film Festival
After a COVID induced hiatus, Theatre Revolution is proud to announce the return of Glass Ceiling Breakers 3! In addition to short plays, we will also include an evening short films. GCB3 will present the work of female and female identifying artists.
Casting: ‘IUD Play’, Short Play. Non-Union, PAID
Writer: Kristin Battersby
Director: Kristin Battersby
Synopsis:
Women seem to love the IUD as a form of birth control, even though the insertion process is pretty rough. But when it’s time for one woman to get her IUD switched out again, for some reason, this time is particularly painful. REALLY painful. SO PAINFUL, in fact, that it transports her to a much more etherial dimension. There, Girl meets the big guy in charge of Planet Earth, who seems to be more interested in his music career than the humans he created. With some help from his direct supervisor, Janet, maybe she’ll be able to convince him to make birth control way less of a hassle… for everyone!
Seeking 3 actors, 2 to double parts:
GIRL
(20s-30s. Female identifying. All types considered.) A girl getting her IUD replaced. Tough, emotionally intelligent, clever.
Role requires choreographed intimacy. Think OBGYN / patient interaction.
DR. OBIE (to double as GOD)

MIDGE (Female identifying 65-85)
Casting inclusive of all cultural identities, BIPOC strongly encouraged to apply.
Required skills: light stage combat
Midge walks with a cane, but it’s unclear if she actually needs one or not. "Badass Gramma" is engraved in gold letters on the side of it. She's got spunk, this one.
MARINE GUARD (Male identifying 18-30)
Casting inclusive of all cultural identities, BIPOC strongly encouraged to apply.
Required skills: light stage combat
Marine Guard clicks his heels any time he's uncomfortable and almost never makes direct eye contact. He speaks in a stilted and aggressive way... even if he's not technically yelling. Although he often is.
