[NEohioPAL] CPT auditioning African American males, age 17-25 for a world premiere production

[Mindy Herman]

Seeking African American man, ages 17-25

Auditions November 22nd from 3:00pm - 6:00pm

Cleveland Public Theatre announces additional audition date for The
Aperture

Written by Sean Christopher Lewis
Directed by Craig J. George

World Premiere

ABOUT THE PLAY: The Aperture is a new play by Sean Christopher Lewis and
the inaugural winner of the Rosa Parks Playwright Award. Aperture takes
audiences on a wild journey that explores America's fetishizing of
global turbulence, violence and race. The Aperture follows the story of
a beautiful American photographer and her unlikely subject, a former boy
soldier from Africa. In this world premiere production, two actors play
six parts in an energetic and insightful expose.

The Aperture will be directed by Craig J. George, who wowed critics and
audience alike with CPT's acclaimed production of M4M, an all-male
version of Shakespeare's Measure for Measure.

Looking to cast the following role: 

*         Okello John: Male, late teens to mid 20's, African or
African-American.  Okello John is a former boy soldier from Uganda.  He
is attractive, smart, charming, gentle but with violence lurking beneath
the surface.  The actors plays multiple characters - comic timing a
plus.

Equity agreements may be considered for this production

Auditions will be held on the following date and time:

Saturday, November 22nd:    3:00pm - 6:00pm
