AUDITION ANNOUNCEMENT
WHEN THE LIGHTS WENT OUT (4f, 3m)
It's time to get back to creating. We have a new one-act show (almost) hot off the press and we are looking for a cast to bring this new work to life this November.
Production Description
Six months after a pandemic shut down theatre all across the globe, four performers, each with their own unique talent, meet up on an empty stage. They each tell a tale of where they were when they first learned about the shut-down and how they and the world have coped with the loss of their passion. Putting their heads together, they come up with a plan to move forward and, as four performers from four different genres, how they can combine their efforts to bring theatre back to the stage!
