Auditions for “Red” 

By John Logan

Master abstract expressionist Mark Rothko has just landed the biggest commission in the history of modern art, a series of murals for New York’s famed Four Seasons Restaurant. In the two fascinating years that follow, Rothko works feverishly with his young assistant, Ken, in his studio on the Bowery. But when Ken gains the confidence to challenge him, Rothko faces the agonizing possibility that his crowning achievement could also become his undoing. Raw and provocative, RED is a searing portrait of an artist’s ambition and vulnerability as he tries to create a definitive work for an extraordinary setting. Winner of the 2010 Tony Award.

Directed by Philip Muehe

Needed
Ken–early to mid 20s. Idealistic and passionate young painter who is unsure of his place in the art world, but is not naive. He provides the greatest challenge to the master Rothko, as he isn’t afraid to speak his mind.
