Description: Entrenched in an elite sumo training facility in Tokyo, six men practice, eat, love, play, and ultimately fight. Step into the sacred world of sumo wrestling, with the New York premiere of Lisa Sanaye Dring’s mesmerizing new drama, SUMO. Akio arrives as an angry, ambitious 18-year-old with a lot to learn. Expecting validation, dominance, and fame, and desperate to move up the ranks, he slams headlong into his fellow wrestlers. With sponsorship money at stake, their bodies on the line, and their futures at risk, the wrestlers struggle to carve themselves—and one another—into the men they dream of being.  SUMO is a thrilling new play set in an elite and rarely explored world. Obie Award winner Ralph B. Peña directs this powerhouse drama.

** Please note the Up-To-Date Actor (UTDA) is not a submission/audition service, meaning no one has listed a specific audition or request for someone to submit. UTDA is an information resource only.
UTDA provides you with information on what projects are currently casting and who is casting. If you are specifically right for a project (based on your demographics and skills) you can use the information on our site to create what we call a “specific general submission.” When available, we provide the submission policy and preference on the casting director’s page but keep in mind since the pandemic all communication should be digital.
