SYNOPSIS
The Psychic is the story of a struggling writer, who in desperation to make rent decides to post an advertisement in his window as a “Psychic reader.” His sign soon draws the interest of a band of colourful characters that soon entangle him in a hilariously, suspenseful murder mystery that can’t be missed.
REQUIREMENTS
A one-to-two minute monologue of your choice is recommended. If you do not have a monologue, selected cold readings will be provided at the audition. At the callback, you will be asked to read from the script with other actors.
SCRIPT
It is recommended that you read the play before auditioning. The script is on reserve at the Performing Arts Desk, 5th floor, Toronto Reference Library, 789 Yonge Street, and at the Community Desk of the Toronto Public Library, Cedarbrae Branch, at 545 Markham Road in Scarborough.
