Casting call for The Sideshow of Galatea

This one-act horror play tells a Twilight Zone like tale of a troubled marriage, threatened by a most unusual monster: a beautiful headless woman.

Casting for this volunteer position is open to 3-4 actors of all genders/ethnicities in their 20s-40s.

Characters needed:
Ned: (20s-40s) An ordinary man, but with many regrets about not living up to his potential. Fran’s high school sweetheart turned husband. Obsessed with Galatea the headless woman, he falls under her spell.
Fran: (20s-40s) An ordinary woman who wants to repair her longtime relationship with her husband Ned, but can’t get him to communicate.
Ensemble: these masked 2-3 figures play attendees at the carnival where Galatea is on display (a mother and child, a skeptical observer) and the manifestation of Galatea’s powers (this will require moving light set pieces such as chairs and puppet arms)
