Description:

Looking for a 9-12-year-old boy for "Everybody's Son" Musical. Please see the details below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. About the project: Everybody’s Son is a musical adaptation of the celebrated novel by Thrity Umrigar. When nine-year-old Anton, a Black boy from Brooklyn, is picked up by child protective services after his mother disappears, he's taken in by the Colemans, a wealthy white family mourning the loss of their teenage son. Anton's birth mother is found after being held captive by her drug dealer, but the Colemans use their immense power and influence to keep her away and adopt Anton. Years later, Anton, now a Harvard graduate in a tight race for the governorship, unexpectedly receives a letter from his birth mother – a letter that threatens his campaign and risks rewriting his entire life story. A gripping new musical, Everybody's Son takes audiences on a journey through American systems of power, class, race, and privilege, all while telling a deeply moving story of identity and family. Rate: Actors cast in these roles will be paid. Pay varies with the role's size and may be negotiable depending on the circumstances. Additional info: What to Prepare Acting: Actors have the option to submit a monologue of their choosing, but this is not required at this time. Actors selected for callbacks will be asked to read sides from the script. Singing: Please submit 1-2 songs (or excerpts from songs) that give directors a good sense of your voice. Please sing with an accompanist or have a second device play a backing/karaoke track as you film your audition. Dancing: The show may include movement, but directors don't anticipate much choreography. If you have dance experience, feel free to note it on your résumé and/or audition form. The production is slated to run at the MATCH (Matchbox 1) in Houston, Texas, from July 29 to August 8, 2027. If interested, please submit your self-tape auditions by September 15, 2026.
