Eclectic Full Contact Theatre is now accepting headshot/resume submissions for principal actors and understudies for its upcoming production of "The Red Lion" by Patrick Marber, running 5/1-5/16 at The Bramble Arts Loft on Clark.
When a small-time football club brings on a promising new recruit, it seems the team may finally step into the spotlight. But as the star rookie's future proves lucrative for those around him, he's thrown into a battle of principles between the team's money-hungry manager and its caretaker still pining for the glory days.
Note: A British accent will be required for all roles. A dialect coach will be involved in the rehearsals, but please prepare accordingly for the audition.
