My solo show COMMUNION was granted a residency at the cell theatre in Manhattan for its world premiere this September.   Kira Simring is the director.  Julianne Merrill is our sound designer.  Ron Lasko is handling press.

As a solo show, there are several scenes where I interact with characters who now only appear via pre-recorded V/O.  Monsignor Jonas, Sister Joan, and Deacon Tom are some of those characters. I'm trying to cast the right voices, and I would love it if you would put a few lines down on tape to share with the team.

Below are prototype recordings and sides with lines for each character. If you are interested, I'd ask that you listen to the recording for your character, record the lines, and reply to matthewlabanca@gmail.com with a recording. Doesn't have to be fancy or produced or anything like that.  And if you want to do a few takes, including one in your natural voice, that would be great.

The complete set of lines (1 scene for each character) would be recorded during the month of August to be woven into the scene by our sound designer.  If you have a mic, the recording could even be done at home, but we have access to a studio, too.  

As a developmental workshop with limited performances, Communion is still something of a passion project, and we can only offer a small stipend to our team members.  The goal at this point is to lock in the script, find the design language of the piece, join with people who feel strongly about this story, and to give it industry visibility and a future life.
