"You’re Still Here" Teen Audition for the Theater
Audition for "You’re Still Here" for Ages 13-18. Please see the details below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACEPTED. About the project: Soon after the death of her Father, Mia starts to see her Grief personified. At first, she is frustrated with her new friend’s presence, but soon learns that as her friends and family see her Grief, they give her the attention andunderstanding she needs while she is healing. As time goes on, fewer and fewer of her friends and family are able to see her Grief and Mia wonders if she is the only person who can see her, why is she still here? You're Still Here explores grief through the lens of a young person with truth, humor and beauty. This show explores mature topics and uses some adult language.
