Synopsis
A biting satire about the three-way marriage of Tom Cruise, Katie Holmes and Scientology. Based on actual interviews and completely imagined scenes, seven actors portray 54 characters, including Oprah Winfrey, Matt Lauer, Josh Hartnett, Steven Spielberg, Nicole Kidman, Penelope Cruz, Scarlett Johansson, Tom Hanks,
Jennifer Lopez, and, of course…Suri Cruise. Structured like THE LARAMIE PROJECT, THE TOMKAT PROJECT chronicles the Scientology saga and skewers our collective obsession with celebrity.
Genre: Stage/Live
Casting: Adult
Nudity: No
Character Breakdown
Needed are 4 M and 3 F
1 actor plays author/the plays narrator Brandon Ogborn only – late 20’s, the real Brandon Ogborn is losing his hair. Doesn’t mean you HAVE to be, but…
1 actor plays Tom Cruise only, he is around 50 but hardly looks it – any resemblance would be neat but not required. Any subtle impersonation would be neat but not required.
1 actor plays Katie Holmes only, early 30s – any resemblance would be neat but not required. Any subtle impersonation would be neat but not required.
2 M and 2 F actors play the remaining 50-plus roles. Actors with a knack for impression would be great – but impression skills are not necessary.
ALL actors must have killer comic timing. And we encourage actors with strong comedic timing of ALL ages and ALL ethnicities to consider auditioning.
