Strawdog Theatre Company is looking for an understudy for their upcoming production of WELCOME TO KEENE, NEW HAMPSHIRE by Brian James Polak, directed by Leda Hoffmann.

Keene, New Hampshire shares a view of Mount Monadnock with Thornton Wilder's fictional Our Town. Modern day Keene shares many of America's challenges - guns, opioids, divergent political views. Brian James Polak's play explores the way we are today: in our growing up and in our marrying and in our living and in our dying.

This understudy track will cover both KEVIN and LOUIE.

Kevin (He/Him): M, white, 20-40's. A member of the Free Keene movement. He got wrapped up in an anti-tax movement when he was young. He didn't realize how this movement was evolving to become anti-government, anti-immigrant, and sliding towards the alt-right. That's not who he is. He just wanted to be part of a group. He was too young to know any better at the time. Seeking principal and understudy.

Louie (He/Him): M, white, 20-40's. A member of the Free Keene movement. He was that typical back-of-the-room slacker in school. He didn't think he was smart enough so he compensated by acting out and making trouble. He joined the Free Keene movement because he needed a group to be part of in order to feel like his life had meaning. He simply doesn't want to be alone, and if that means wreaking havoc, then so be it. Seeking principal and understudy.

Pay is $50 + $20 per performance if understudy goes on.
