<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">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.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">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.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">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.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">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.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">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.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">The Arizona Theatre Company is prepared to accommodate a parent or custodian for the entire trip to Arizona and to provide tutoring.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">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.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">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.</FONT></P>
