Bad Mouth Theatre Company is seeking two (2) actors for our upcoming production of MODERATION by Kevin Kautzman.
MODERATION follows two social media content moderators working at an unnamed, monolithic tech company. As they sift through the dark side of the Internet with designated “bio breaks” and the potential for promotion, they slowly lose their grip on reality in this darkly funny new play.
Most recently, MODERATION is being developed at the Valdez Theatre Conference this June and has received readings at the Blank, Broad Horizons, Spooky Action, and Up theaters.
CAST
HE: Male, 30s-40s. A seasoned content moderator at the company, HE yearns for recognition from upper management and from his online streaming audience.
SHE: female, 20s-30s. SHE is new to the company, learning the ropes, and psychological dangers, of content moderation.
