Seeking Teens for "Girls in the Boat" Intensive Production

Seeking talent ages 15 and up for the FREE Pre-Professional Summer Intensive Production of "Girls in the Boat." Please see the details below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. About the project: "Girls in the Boat" was inspired by the true stories of the U.S. women’s Olympic rowing team. A group of smart, fiery young women fights discrimination and prejudice to compete in the male-dominated sport of rowing, finding an unlikely ally in a taciturn men’s coach. Together, they confront ridicule and overcome obstacles. The women refuse to sit on a bus and wait their turn in a battle for gender equality in a sport that makes national news and takes them to the world championships. Against the rhythm of their oars, these women forge bonds and overcome disagreements in their search for greatness. Despite their diverse backgrounds and politics, they pull together to reach their goals in a fast-paced drama that reminds people of what they can all do if they have a common purpose. As the heroines break barriers of race and gender, their newly minted U.S. women’s rowing team becomes the most-winning sports team in American history. Additional info: "Girls in the Boat" is a selective, ensemble-driven training experience focused on collaboration, storytelling, and artistic growth. Sides from the script will be provided upon arrival. No preparation is necessary. This intensive is completely FREE for all accepted participants.
