[NEohioPAL] Straight White Men Auditions in ONE WEEK (REGIONAL PREMIERE)

[Avenue Arts Marketplace & Theatre]

Avenue Arts Marketplace & Theatre announces auditions for STRAIGHT WHITE MEN

LOCATED AT 324 CLEVELAND AVE NW CANTON OHIO, 44702


SYNOPSIS: When Ed and his three adult sons come together to celebrate Christmas, they enjoy cheerful trash-talking, pranks, and takeout Chinese. Then they confront a problem that even being a happy family can’t solve: When identity matters, and privilege is problematic, what is the value of being a straight white man?

Directed by: David Lee, Co-Artistic Director
