"The Words Will Come" Show Needs Teen Performers

The company is holding auditions for "The Words Will Come" Show and looking for performers. Please see the details below ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. About the project: The Words Will Come is a devised, movement-based play centered on dyslexia not as a deficit, but as a way of thinking, sensing, and remembering. Following a young Persian girl and her adult self, the piece explores how shame is learned, how intelligence is mismeasured, and how imagination becomes a survival tool. By disrupting linear storytelling and traditional language structures, the play places the audience inside a dyslexic experience in real time. Rate: $16/hour Non-Union Equity contracts available Additional info: Actors should bring a headshot (emailing one works too) and résumé, and wear clothes they can move in. Auditions will include sides and movement exercises.
