Well, this is now the area of town I've got about a week to research. I'm going to be portraying someone who lives and/or works in the Lower East side. I just need to find the someone. My technical borders are from 14th St to Canal St, and 4th Ave to the East River. I will be acting as this person for about twenty minutes, with a monologue of their story.
If you know (or are) someone who lives and/or works within those borders and has an engaging story to tell, let me know. I have a slight preference for men, just because I'll have an easier time portraying one for twenty minutes, but beyond that, I'm open to just about anyone. Once again, I need to find and pick this person by the end of next week, so the sooner I hear from you, the better. Thank you all!
I'm no New Yorker (let alone a Lower East Sider), but I enjoyed reading at you'll be doing some (presumably) documentary theater-style work. I once interviewed and played an 80 year old Midwestern woman for a documentary theater piece; who subsequently became my adoptive grandmother.
