Allen V. Astin (1940 – 1953 or 36 to 49 years old)

Actor preferably in his 40s. Astin was an introvert, quiet, integral, and honest man. He was a man of science and had a quiet bravery to him. He loved to smoke his pipe. When you asked him a question he would pause and puff on the pipe, about ten seconds worth. His responses were always very measured, thoughtful, and helpful. He was married with two boys. 

Background:

Allen Varley Astin was born on June 12, 1904. He was an American physicist who served as director of the United States’ National Bureau of Standards (now the National Institute of Standards and Technology) from 1951 until 1969. During the Second World War he worked on the proximity fuse. He was an advocate for the introduction of metric weights and measures to the United States.

He was the eldest of three children. His mother was a school teacher in Utah. Astin’s father died when he was only four years old. He graduated from the University of Utah’s physics program and in 1928 was granted a PhD in physics from New York University. That same year, Astin obtrained a two-year fellowship for studies at John’s Hopkins University. Upon completing the fellowship he secured a staff position at the National Bureau of Standards, eventually working his way up to his appointment as Director in May, 1952.

For everyone for whom the FDA has approved or authorized vaccines, including boosters, for use for individuals in that person’s age group (currently, 5 and older), the studio, Endeavor Content, is mandating that all cast, including any cast guardians, and all crew working within the cast zone, must be “fully vaccinated” against COVID-19, which shall also include COVID-19 booster shots and future booster immunizations as recommended by official health authorities, as a condition of employment on the show, to the maximum extent permitted by the “Return to Work Agreement” between the union-guild coalition and the AMPTP companies. Effective March 15, 2022, only individuals who are “up to date” on their vaccines, as that term is defined by the CDC, shall be considered “fully vaccinated” under the Return to Work Agreement. An individual who has received a primary series of vaccine as outlined by the CDC need not receive a booster dose until eligible in order to be “up to date.” Individuals who have received a Novavax or AstraZeneca vaccine shall be considered “fully vaccinated” for all purposes under the Return to Work Agreement as long as the individual has received at least three vaccine doses, which may be any combination of a vaccine approved or authorized for emergency use by the U.S. FDA, Novavax, or AstraZeneca.

Specifically, for those employees in “Zone A” as defined in the RTW Agreement, you must answer simply “Yes” or “No” to this question: are you “fully vaccinated”* or do you have a disability or sincerely held religious belief that prevents you from being vaccinated? Any offer of employment made to any prospective employee who answers “Yes” to the preceding question is conditioned upon your providing proof of being “up to date” on your vaccination status or, if applicable, verification of your disability or sincerely held religious belief and a determination that a reasonable accommodation can be made for you following an interactive process to identify accommodation options that do not pose an undue hardship on the Studio.

Synopsis:
Dontrell, Who Kissed the Sea is a modern love story set alongside a young man’s pursuit for
ancestral connection. Told through movement, rhythm, and poetry, this dramatic comedy follows eighteen-year-old Dontrell Jones III on a journey that leads him from Baltimore City to the shores of the Atlantic Ocean in search of an ancestor that gave the ultimate sacrifice for freedom during the Middle Passage. Dontrell, Who Kissed the Sea invites audiences to consider family, identity, and a shared legacy that extends beyond bondage.

“Dontrell, Who Kissed the Sea” is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Samuel French, Inc. www.concordtheatricals.com
