Mosquitoes
Directed by Kyle Davis
Alice is a scientist searching for the Higgs Boson. Her sister Jenny is just searching for a stiff drink.
Z-PAC is thrilled to announce auditions for Lucy Kirkwood’s Mosquitoes. This is a play about the collision of two worlds: the high-stakes, rational world of particle physics and the chaotic, messy reality of family dysfunction.
We are looking for a cast of 10-14 actors to inhabit this electric script. From the brilliant but emotionally stunted Alice to the raw and intuitive Jenny, the resentful teenage Luke to the formidable matriarch Karen—these are roles that demand truth, rhythm, and chemistry.
We are seeking actors who are ready to dive into overlapping dialogue, sharp wit, and deep emotional territory
