Description:

Equity child actors needed for "Somewhere Over The Border" production. Check out the details below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. About the project: SYNOPSIS: Somewhere Over the Border: Inspired by the real-life journey of the author Brian Quijada's mother (Reina Quijada) from El Salvador to the United States, and by L. Frank Baum’s The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, Somewhere Over the Border blends the factual and fantastical in its portrayal of one young girl's pursuit of the American Dream. As Reina travels north to the Mexican border, she gathers friends, faces danger, and clings to the memory of the little boy she left behind. Set in the 1970s and propelled by Cumbia, Mexican Mariachi Boleros, American Rock, and Hip Hop, this new musical is both a fable and a family history — a testament to the determination born of love.
