AUDITION NOTICE Seeking 2 male actors 45-65 to play former Tuskegee Airmen in performances May 13 & 14 Playwrights Local www.playwrightslocal.org THE LAST HURRAH A 10-Minute Play by Vickie L. Williams Directed by Luther Pete Robinson Production Info – Presented as part of Playwrights Local's upcoming short play festival. – Performance Dates: May 13 & 14, 2022, at 7:30 pm. – Rehearsals: Handful of rehearsals beginning mid-late April – Workshop-style production, off-book. – Compensation will be a modest stipend. What to Prepare Pages from the script will be provided by email. Open Roles CLARENCE JAMISON (45-65, Black/African American): Former Tuskegee Airman and Lieutenant colonel, thin with a raspy voice. ROY RICHARDSON (45-65, Black/African American): Former Tuskegee Airman, energetic. Synopsis Based on interviews with three Cleveland local Tuskegee Airmen, the late Lieutenant Colonel (Lt Col) Clarence Jamison, the late Master Sergeant (MSG) Thomas Austin, and Corporal (CPL) Roy Richardson, as they point out black achievements in the U.S. Armed Services. Those achievements are labeled as hurrahs. The first hurrah was when racists believed black people were incapable of learning. The Tuskegee Airmen not only learned how to fly, but their superior flying techniques won them eight Distinguished Unit Citations. Racists also believed blacks should be kept separate from white society. Tuskegee Airmen refused to accept discrimination and their actions at Freeman Field resulted in President Truman signing an Executive Order to integrate the U.S. armed services. Hurrah! In 1941, they won the first Top Gun Gunnery Competition and, after years of not being given credit, they finally provided proof, the last hurrah.
