"Arrivals Until The Departure" Short Play Needs Actors

Equity actors for roles in the one-act play "Arrivals Until The Departure". ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE CONSIDERED. See breakdown below. About the project: SYNOPSIS: Arrivals Until the Departure follows the journey of Amina, a transgender Muslim woman, who has recently left her unsupportive home and is living on a bench in Central Park. Throughout the show, Amina encounters the arrivals of a story-telling ghost, a drug dealer, a talking dress, and eventually, her mother, all of whom reflect her own struggles with identity and survival. This show transcends time to explore of the ways religion silences marginalized voices and the tangled process of queer actualization in a hostile world.
