About: Nicholas Bompart is a multidisciplinary artist: actor, director, and playwright whose work blends psychological depth, dark humor, and theatrical experimentation. With productions staged at venues nationally and internationally - with films recognized at film festivals and in publications, his work explores the tension between inner truth and outward performance.

- Casting needs: non AEA, classically trained, improv trained, good with comedy; Specifically I am seeking: 1) MARA (Female, 30s) Defiant, emotionally scorched, and idealistic to a fault.
