Casting Call for “Frigid” in Denver, Colorado!

Summary

A man creates his version of a perfect woman by freezing her in ice.

“Frigid” is an adaptation of the Pygmalion myth, in which the king of Cypress could not find a suitable wife, and so carved his ideal woman from marble. In this dark retelling, short story author KN Johnson asked herself “Why weren’t normal women good enough for this guy? What was wrong with him?” “Frigid” is her answer.

Casting Roles

Henry (lead): 30 to 70

Henry is married with kids because that’s what normal people do. But he lives in a disconnected state. His life feels like a dream where everything is fake, disappointing, and disjointed—as though he’s living in a black-and-white world. He sometimes takes dramatic measures to experience bursts of color—a world that feels perfect, where he can connect with another human being.

 

Lisa (supporting): 20 to 40

Lisa loves spending time outside and taking in the beauty of nature. She’s friendly, optimistic, and likes to experience new things. She has a lot of self respect and generally a great sense of self-preservation . . . it’s just that sometimes her optimism means people slip past her guard.
