Looking for a Talented Boy for a Horror Play
Post Productions is poised to resurrect the disturbingly satisfying horror genre of Grand Guignol, which ruled France’s theatre scene for decades. Our October 2025 production, 'Puppets in the Hands of a Malevolent God', will be a double-bill of spine-tingling one-act plays in the Grand Guignol tradition. We're looking for a talented boy between the ages of 10-14 who's eager to take on a challenge, loves horror, and welcomes the opportunity to play with some GROSS practical effects for one of these two plays: 'Mothers of Nothing', which takes place at a funeral reception during a violent thunderstorm – where six mothers, two alter boys, and a priest find themselves facing a living nightmare after one member of their party is attacked by another. *Cast members will equally split between 25-35% of gross ticket revenue; the precise percentage depends on average capacity sold per performance.
1 role
An experienced Altar Boy who serves primarily out of a sense of duty to his family and community, but who has no ambitions to become a priest, Emmitt Huxley is starved for positive attention. Emmitt is curious, a little dismissive, quick to make friends, and genuinely compassionate. He is impatient to become an adult, in part because he believes adults don’t live in constant fear of punishment. Unfortunately, Emmitt has a poor relationship with his mother, who he believes doesn't love him.
