Attention Actors:
We are seeking experienced talent for the role of André Cooper in the World Premiere Production of RADIATOR by Craig Houk.
Character Description:
ANDRÉ COOPER (Mid 40s) African American. He’s analytical, earnest, but also has a good sense of humor. He has a big heart but has trouble connecting with others.
Play Synopsis:
Lou Brunazzi & André Cooper live across the hall from each other in the basement of a shabby apartment building in the Bronx. On the landing between their units stands a noisy radiator, which is connected to a deteriorating boiler. Determined to stop the whistling, hissing & banging that’s keeping him awake at night, André endeavors to turn the radiator off, but is cut short by Lou who is determined to keep it running at all costs. What begins as a battlefield between two headstrong men slowly evolves into a makeshift sitting room where the pair begin to form a unique and lasting bond.

Callbacks will be held in person, location TBD, likely in NW DC, the weekend of Feb 28th.
Important Considerations:
This is a non-union production. The stipend for this role is set at a $1500 for the rehearsal process and the run.
The role of Lou Brunazzi has already been cast.
Radiator is a full length one-act play and will run ~90 Min without an intermission.
Rehearsals will begin ASAP in early March. We will do our best to work around conflicts but since this play is a two-hander, we will need both actors present together for nearly all if not all rehearsals.
RADIATOR is scheduled to run from May ?? - May ??, 2025 with performances on Thursday Evenings, Friday Evenings, Saturday Evenings (possible matinee) and Sunday Matinees at Theater Alliance, 340 Maple Dr SW, Washington, DC 20024. The theater space is located one block north of the Waterfront Metro.
