As promised I am sending you information regarding our Fall show “Children of a Lesser God”. I am so looking forward in working the hearing-impaired community and I know they will teach me so much.
I am sending the character description and hopefully you can help me find “the next big stars” in Dionysus Theatre.
Auditions will be the first week of August. Show opens October 17th and runs thru October 31, 2009. Every Thursday, Saturday and Sunday to be more specific.
I am also looking for a person who interprets to help me with this show. They would be my assistant director. If you know of any interpreters or interns who would love this opportunity, I would be most grateful. Our buget isn’t huge. They would have to be at rehearsals Monday-Thursday 7-9:30 beginning sometime in August.
Here is the rundown of characters in show:
Sarah Norman – mid-twenties. Deaf from birth. (This character MUST speak the last line of the show though)
Orin Dennis – in his twenties. Has some residual hearing: a lip reader
Lydia – in her late teens. Has some residual hearing, a lip reader (I might have someone for this part- company member, we’ll see if she can do it)
The authors note: The author insists – in any professional production of this play – the roles of Sarah, Orin and Lydia be performed by deaf or hearing impaired actors.
I thank you in advance for any help you can give me. My email is [email protected] and my home email is [email protected]
Again – stay cool – its only JUNE!
