Seeing 4 Actors (2M, 2F) for One-Act Workshop Play for Spark Theatre Festival
$300 Per Gig
**BOTH AEA and NON-UNION actors are encouraged to submit!**
Emmy Lane Potter's hilarious one-act play, All Downhill, is making its workshop debut as part of Emerging Artists Theatre's biannual Spark Theatre Festival on OCTOBER 10th 2026 at 7pm!
Wildlife photographer Martin and real estate agent Jules have a picture-perfect marriage except for one tiny problem: they hardly see each other. When Jules’ childhood best friend, Hollywood action star Rafe Reeves and his wealthy, sexy fiancee Claudia invite the pair to spend a weekend at their luxe Aspen ski chalet, they jump at a chance to rekindle their romance. But when Martin and Claudia see the chemistry between Rafe and Jules, a new picture of their relationships emerge, causing all four to take drastic measures for the sake of love, sex, and a happy ending in this comedic one-act.
Partially inspired by Rear Window (but with less murder and more laughs), All Downhill is a witty, comedic look at modern relationships–including our relationships to work and money–and all the things that push us over the edge of the mountain of our lives.
CHARACTERS:
All characters require physical comedy.
MARTIN (40), wild-life photographer for National Geographic among other places. Jules' husband of 7 years.
