Description:

Equity chorus dancers for "Every Saturday Night" show. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE CONSIDERED. See breakdown below. About the project: SYNOPSIS: Every Saturday Night is a vibrant, memory-saturated musical that bridges past and present inside a single Fillmore District home. In the present day, Donte - a lifelong resident preparing to leave San Francisco - meets a young Black family considering buying his house. As Donte and their teenage son Adarè slowly connect, the walls begin to reopen, revealing the after-hours jazz joint Donte’s mother Ardella once ran in the 1950s. Music, humor, grief, and resistance swirl together as the past bursts into the room - dancers, cooks, lovers, hustlers, and dreamers reclaiming their place in a neighborhood that was once called the “Harlem of the West.” Through interwoven timelines, the piece explores Black joy under pressure, the cost of survival, gentrification’s relentless churn, and the quiet ache of becoming who your family needed you to be. It is both a love letter and a warning, a musical celebration of the people who carved out sanctuary in a world determined to erase them.
