[Seth Gordon]

> The Cleveland Play House is casting an African American male actor for its
> upcoming production of A Raisin in the Sun, playing the role of Travis,
> who is 11 years of age.
> 
> The play will go into rehearsal October 13 and will run November 7-30. All
> efforts will be made to keep the young man in school for all but a few
> days during that period.
> 
> The commitment to this production also involves playing the role of Travis
> in the same production when it travels to the Arizona Theatre Company
> later in the year. The Arizona Theatre Company has two locations, one in
> Tuscson and one in Phoenix.
> 
> The first rehearsal in Tucson will be January 2, and it will perform there
> January 10-31. The first rehearsal in Phoenix is February 4 and it will
> perform there February 5-22.
> 
> The actor will receive $400 per week from the Cleveland Play House. The
> Arizona Theatre Company will be required to sign the actor to an Actors'
> Equity Association contract and pay him $750 per week, but as Arizona is a
> "right-to-work" state the actor will not be required to join.
> 
> The Arizona Theatre Company is prepared to accommodate a parent or
> custodian for the entire trip to Arizona and to provide tutoring.
> 
> We ask that young men only audition for this role if they are or if they
> can pass for 11 years of age, and if they are available to travel to
> Arizona for that portion of the production.
> 
> Auditions will be by appointment only on Monday, June 16 from 4:00 until
> 7:00. If you have any questions or you wish to make an appointment, please
> respond to this email.
