Description:

Seeking talent for the theatre show "El Huracán". More information can be found below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE CONSIDERED. About the project: SYNOPSIS: As Hurricane Andrew threatens Miami, perpetual grad student Miranda returns to Florida to help her mother Ximena and abuela Valeria weather the storm. But Valeria has already taken shelter in her own world of memory and magic as she deals with the onset of dementia. And Ximena feels she is the only one capable of keeping her mother safe from the reality of the storm and shuns Miranda's help. Hurricane Andrew stirs up old grudges, unearths family secrets, and carves a path through their fragile relationships to the one question that matters most: Can they ever forgive each other? Loosely inspired by Shakespeare's The Tempest, El Huracán is a beautifully lyrical play about resentment, responsibility, and love.
