<DIV align=left><FONT size=4>This is a terrific show in terms of the breadth of
roles! Throngs of young characters, great opportunities for character actors 30
thru 60, wonderful dance opportunities, and strong roles for black performers,
as the plot revolves around themes on integration in 1960's Baltimore. For more
information on the show check out <A title=http://www.mtishows.com/ href="http://www.mtishows.com/">www.mtishows.com</A> (List of Roles,

many as two AEA contracts will be offered. All non-equity actors 18 years
and older will receive a small stipend for their participation.
