SCRATCHING
By Britton Buttrill
Directed by Ria T. DiLullo

Sex, drugs, and illegal tattoos collide in the New York premiere of Britton Buttrill’s Scratching. Set in a nameless blue collar town in the Deep South, we open on the trailer of Brianna, a smart girl dumbed down to stripping for a living. Her boyfriend, Christian, is trying to scrape out a future giving illegal tattoos after a cocaine-induced slip of his hand blacklisted him from licensed parlors in New York City. Brianna and Christian’s meager lives begin spiraling out of control when Christian’s ex-fiancé–– New York actress, Tracy–– arrives with a new ring on her finger and the desire to get Christian back. It is then that Adrian, Christian’s brother, enters the mix with a bag of MDMA that promises financial stability. A doomed circle of unrequited love unfolds between the four of them, causing Adrian and Christian to confront the past, the present, and ultimately each other.

SEEKING:

1. FEMALE (NON-WHITE) for the role of Tracy.
   

TRACY-  Wealthy, Intellectual, Regal. A New York Chic actor who’s come to a Blue Collar town that’s worlds away from what she’s used to. Determined but indecisive. She’s on the verge of sacrificing her dream of being an artist for a quiet life in the suburbs with her businessman husband. She takes a risk to get back with her ex-fiance, a tattoo artist and dreamer, with the hopes of living the life she believes she wants.  Instead, she meets his brother, a drug dealer and provider who may provide her with a way out.

We will be auditioning by appointment only until July 1st.
