The "Flyin’ West" Play Needs Actors
Looking for male and female talent for the "Flyin’ West" play. See other details below. About the project: “Following the end of the Civil War, many former slaves, anxious to leave the South and the increasing disappointments and dangers of Reconstruction, took advantage of The Homestead Act and went West to build new lives for themselves and their families. Many of these homesteaders were black women who overcame tremendous odds to work their own land and make a place for themselves in an often harsh and forbidding environment. Set in 1898, FLYIN’ WEST is the story of some of these African-American female pioneers who settled, together, in the all-black town of Nicodemus, Kansas.” – Dramatist Play Service Additional info: -These will be COLD READINGS, with potential improv situations requested. -Callbacks (if necessary): Wednesday, July 19th from 7–9 pm -Read-though: Monday, July 24th at 7:00 pm -Opening Night: Friday, September 8th, 2023, at 8:00 pm -Performance Dates: Fridays thru Sundays, September 8th – October 1st -Please bring a completed form, see the attachment.
