Seeking a NY-based actor (Male, Dominican American, 20s-30s), comfortable with solo performance and inhabiting multiple characters in a one-person adaptation of 'The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao.' The actor will play the central narrator Yunior, a womanizing jock full of bravado, as he recounts the life of his friend, Oscar “Wao” de León—a nerdy, overweight Dominican-American obsessed with books, sci-fi, and finding love. From New Jersey to Santo Domingo, we follow their friendship as Oscar battles loneliness, self-acceptance, and the inherited “fukú” curse that shadows his family. Haunted by the memory of his late friend, Yunior tells the story with humor, grit, and heartbreaking beauty, revealing the contradictions of Dominican identity, masculinity, and culture. The actor also plays Oscar, Lola, their mom Belicia, their abuela La Inca, Ybon, and El Capitan, among other characters ranging from 20s to 70s years of age. Versatility and depth of character exploration is a must.
