"Thea" Audition for the Theater

Seeking actors for the "THEA" play. See the breakdown below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE CONSIDERED. About the project: A new play inspired by Sister Thea Bowman, being developed as part of a new play development program. The developmental workshop will give the playwright, director, and actors an opportunity to explore the piece together through rehearsal, discussion, music, and embodied storytelling. Rate: $600. Additional info: Seeking 6 Atlanta-based actors of African descent. Music is an important part of the world of the play, so actors who are comfortable singing are particularly of interest. Workshop dates: October 22-26, 2026 Rehearsal times: TBD Location: Atlanta, GA Please note: The development will take place outdoors. Casting is done straight from tape with the playwright and director. Audition Requirements: Choose ONE side of your choice from the provided audition sides. Choose the character/side you feel most connected to and would like to be considered for. 32 bars or approximately one minute of a song that speaks to your soul. Music rooted in gospel, blues, African/African diasporic music, spirituals, soul, folk, etc. is encouraged. A polished "musical theatre audition" is less of a focus than hearing your voice, your musicality, and the music that moves you. A cappella singing is welcome. Submission deadline: October 10 by 12 pm. Confirmed hours will be shared as soon as they are available. See the attachment for details. If you are interested, please apply.
