Prepping for Auditions

Wow. Daniel and I have been blown away by the quality of acting applications we have received so far. We’re honored that these characters have spoken to so many talented actors! We’ve had a lot of fun looking through everyone’s sizzle reels. It is surreal that soon we will have real people representing characters we dreamed up on a page.

Davey, Kathryn, and the Hitman were born out of our desire to find a space to talk about big questions about science and art. Daniel and I enjoyed inspirational stories about how famous men like Steve Jobs and Jennifer Doudna channeled their dual interests into incredible successes, but we felt that there were few popular stories about the tensions we felt as students trying to fit both interests into our lives. In fact, there seemed to be very few stories about graduate students at all. Thus Davey, our chaotic artist, and Kathryn, our stubborn scientist, were born. We can’t wait to see them come to life.

Our project can be found advertised on Facebook and Backstage, and we will be accepting applications through the end of this week.
