SEEKING

Equity actors for the role of TEDRA in FAT HAM.

[TEDRA] She/Her. 45-50. Black. She is Juicy's mother. She is a good mother who loves her son deeply. A kind of Gertrude.

She’s a woman who’s learned how to survive and used her beauty to help her. NOTE:

Actors cast in the role of TEDRA may understudy other shows at OSF.

SYNOPSIS: A Southern-fried take on Shakespeare’s Hamlet: In James Ijames’s sizzling cookout comedy, the grill isn’t the only thing turning up the heat. This deliciously funny play follows Juicy, a queer Black kid living in the South. When the ghost of his dead father appears at a family BBQ demanding revenge for his murder, Juicy must grapple with the decision to heed his phantom father’s advice or remain true to himself. The 2022 Pulitzer Prize–winning riff on Shakespeare’s Hamlet is directed by Elizabeth Carter, the 2021 SDCF Lloyd Richards New Futures Resident Artist and the assistant director of OSF’s 2022 production of August Wilson’s How I Learned What I Learned.
