Tales from the Edge is a collection of early Eugene O'Neill one-acts that delve into the issues of unequal justice, gender and racial prejudice, poverty and social stigma. The plays will be directed by Eric Fraisher Hayes and Kimberly Ridgeway and presented as a script-in-hand performance January 9-11 at the Museum of the San Ramon Valley in Danville, CA.

Actors will be performing multiple roles in these short plays. We are looking for our ensemble to include:

Actor #1: Female, 20-30’s, any ethnicity

Actor #2: Male, 20-30’s, BIPOC

Actor #3: Female, 60-70’s, BIPOC

Actor #4: Female, 30-50’s, BIPOC

Actor #5: Male, 50-60’s, any ethnicity

Actor #6: Male, 20-30’s, any ethnicity

How to Submit

We are currently accepting video submissions of two contrasting monologues, not to exceed 4 minutes total. Video submissions are due by Monday, October 20, 2025. Please make sure your video is accessible so the casting director will not need to “request access” to view.
