Casting Call for "Upgrade" Stage Play

Looking for Equity actors for 2027 Winter Season show "Upgrade". Further details are provided below.

SYNOPSIS - A DARK ROMANTIC COMEDY.
Lorraine and Stu are Upper West Side empty nesters who have made a comfortable life together built on personal and professional success. But, as their 25th wedding anniversary looms, something isn't sitting right. Maybe it's just a little boredom-but maybe it's a more significant discontentment. Attempting to explore and alleviate this unnamed restlessness, both turn to technology-to A.I. What begins as a darkly funny foray into the awkward particulars of building an online companion quickly becomes a treacherous exploration of the tenuous interplay between technology and humanity.
