"Something Happened in Our Town" Needs Kids

Seeking performers ages 8 and up for "Something Happened in Our Town" Play. Please see the details below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. About the project: Friendships challenged, a world changed, and two young people trying to make sense of it together. Neighbors Josh and Emma are best friends. But something has happened in their town. When a Black man is killed by a police officer, Emma, and Josh have questions-real questions that deserve real answers. With so much going on, the two don’t know how to keep their friendship from being pulled apart. Layered with compassion and humor, this play invites you into the living rooms of these two families (one Black and one White) as they wrestle with how to help their children make sense of what happened. Playwright Cheryl D. West invites you to walk alongside Josh and Emma as they confront uncertainty within their own town and seek to plant the seeds of change in their community.
