Young Talent Wanted for Upcoming Theatre Audition

Looking for a young actor for an upcoming theatre play. Please see the details below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. About the project: Synopsis: FACING JERUSALEM It’s an old story. Inner city minorities trying to escape any way they can, only to be sucked back in. Ken has made it out, or so he thinks. But, one soft spring evening, on a stroll with his wife in their peaceful suburb, he is shot by LeShawn, an inner city tough, who also thought he had escaped until a promising athletic career was suddenly halted by an injury. Ken ends up bleeding on the sidewalk, left to wonder, “Why me?” LeShawn ends up in the state penitentiary with a lengthy sentence. Partially paralyzed and severely depressed, Ken might as well be in prison, and his need to confront LeShawn grows. Ken and LeShawn ultimately meet at the prison and together move forward towards forgiveness and healing. FACING JERUSALEM is the story of two Black men trying to survive and forge a friendship from their shared pain. Additional info: No props, no memorization, no blocking (well, maybe a little), comfy chairs (okay, folding metal ones) with music stands in front of them to rest the scripts on. Need to be free on the 20th and 21st. Can negotiate the rest. Performance is a Single Reading On July 21st At 3 pm with a just few rehearsals so can get comfortable with the script. If interested, please apply.
