ABOUT THE PROJECT:
The Coastal Virginia Exodus Play is an original play created and developed with the 757/Hampton Roads community that will be shaped and refined with the cast. Led by The InHEIRitance Project artistic director and playmakers, the cast will infuse their experiences into this completely original, hyper-local script about the 7 cities - Norfolk, Portsmouth, Chesapeake, Suffolk, Hampton, Newport News and Virginia Beach - and their relationships to each other historically, as imagined through the lens of a family gathering. The cast size will be 10-12 people. This is a paid opportunity.
We are seeking a creative, diverse group of folks ages 16 - 96 to participate. All identities are encouraged to audition. Please bring something to share that gives us a sense of who you are! A story, song, monologue, poem, special skills, fun tricks, painting, etc. There will also be sides to read and small group/partner exercises to participate in.
Let us know when you plan to audition via RSVP button below - walk-ins are welcome too!
