Sub Rosa Theatre Collective is now accepting audition sign-ups for their upcoming production of In Pursuit Of by Zoe Soteres, directed by Nole Beran.

Below is a short description of the play:
In Pursuit Of follows Theo, a young man navigating life in an unfamiliar city while balancing the pressures of college & a dead-end data entry job. He toils under the shadow of a younger, more successful boss, who humiliates him at every turn, pushing Theo to adopt the morally ambiguous teachings of his academic advisor. As the demands of home, work, and school intensify, Theo becomes fixated on securing a promotion and outmaneuvering his boss, even if it means compromising his own ethical boundaries. In the meantime, he encounters a myriad of characters who challenge his notions of right and wrong, ultimately leading him on a tumultuous journey of atonement and self-discovery.

Auditions slots begin at 8AM on November 8th and go until 4PM, virtual submissions are open until November 7th at 5pm.
