Girls Needed for "The Great Privation" Comedy

Seeking Equity actors ages 16 and up for "The Great Privation" Show. Please see the details below. About the project: The Great Privation (How to Flip Ten Cents into a Dollar) is about Grave Robbing in the early 1800’s. Grave Robbing during the Cholera outbreak. Grave Robbing in Philadelphia. Robbing of Black bodies for medical research. Black bodies that were commodified even after death. Black bodies that never got their rest. In 1832, a mother and daughter kept vigil at a grave behind the African Baptist Church in Philadelphia. Today, at a summer camp on the same grounds, another mother and daughter navigate a new, but not-so-different landscape. Alongside them, two distinct male figures move in and out of both sets of lives, threatening to unearth dark truths-or to help create them. As timelines collide and secrets and lives become buried and revealed, a reckoning comes calling to them all: the roots of the ancestors are not as long as they may think. The Great Privation (How to Flip Ten Cents into a Dollar) is a darkly comic appraisal of the value of the bodies in death, the responsibility to time, and the role joy plays in collective resistance.
