Auditions for our fall mainstage production, Water by the Spoonful, will be held on August 18 and 19 from 7 to 10 PM! Head over to our website to learn more about this impactful show and to reserve your audition spot today.
In Water by the Spoonful, Elliot, an Iraq veteran, and his cousin, Yaz, plan their beloved activist aunt’s funeral together, honor her legacy, and find new life paths for themselves. Meanwhile, Elliot’s mother, a recovering addict, finds hope and purpose moderating an addiction support chatroom. There, a found family help each other challenge and support each other to grow and find new sources of happiness. This play explores how people begin to heal their past damage and how they step up to support each other in times of need.
Performance dates will be November 8-10 and 14-16, but actors must also commit to being available for the weekend of November 21-23 as a backup in case of cancellation due to illness.
All roles are currently open. We are especially searching for folks to audition for the role of Chutes&Ladders. Role description is below:
Chutes&Ladders: Black, he/him, 40s-60s
AKA Clayton “Buddy” Wilkie. Black, 56 years old. A member of the online support group, lives in San Diego, has worked a low-level job at the IRS since the Reagan years. Has a sense of humor, can be confrontational and compassionate at the same time. Cautious after some hard life lessons, he is devoted to his chatroom friends and ultimately goes out on a limb to deepen his friendship with Orangutan.
Note that most of the roles in this show call for actors of specific racial and/or ethnic backgrounds, and we will pursue authentic casting.
