Spark Theatre Company is seeking an additional performer for its 2024 Winter production of *I NEVER SAW ANOTHER BUTTERFLY*. These productions occasionally have public performances but primarily travel throughout NE Ohio to schools as assemblies for approximately 12-15 performances. Actors do not need to be available EVERY day throughout the touring performance timeline, but should have general availability during school days and/or some flexibility in their schedules. I Never Saw Another Butterfly By Celeste Raspanti Irena, a prisoner of Terezin concentration camp, teaches children when there is nothing to teach with, helps to give them hope when there is little reason for hope, and creates a little world of laughter, of flowers and butterflies behind the barbed wire. Based on the true stories of some of the 15,000 children who passed through the camp, this is a story of how butterflies became a symbol of defiance, making it possible for them to live on and play happily while waiting to be transported. Rehearsals Begin: January 8th, 2024 around actor availability Performances: February 5th-29th, 2024 Available Roles: Raja- (female) a young jewish girl imprisoned in Terezin concentration camp during World War II. Adult actor to play 15 year old, Czech Jewish citizen. *Spark Theatre Company embraces diversity and inclusion and utilizes a non-traditional casting policy. Non-Traditional Casting is a method designed to increase artistic options by expanding casting opportunities for women, actors of color, seniors, and actors with disabilities in roles where race, gender, age or the presence or absence of a disability are not germane. To that end, we encourage all actors to audition, regardless of race, ethnicity, gender identity or physical ability.* TO SUBMIT: Please self tape using the sides from the link below (Sides 1, 2, or 4 are for Raja- choose your favorite, you don't need to do more than one.)

Be Apart of a Development Process!
by Tim Collingwood 04 Dec '23

04 Dec '23

I do need actors and directors for this development process. I am grateful to those in the past who have contributed to the play's creation, as it was workshopped at Cleveland Public Theatre in 2019 for Entry Point and was built bit by bit through Dark Room from 2014-2019. I would love to get those interested in the play who haven't been able to contribute to this development process. As the play confronts gender disparity in the Roman Catholic Church, I am intentional on confronting gender disparity in theatre by wanting a female-identifying director to help this development process. I also need four female-identifying actors and one male-identifying actor. I already have three female actors already, I just need one more female actor and a male actor. Consistency is encouraged, but not mandatory. If you can commit to meeting once a month between now and February and can only make one meeting, that's fine. I will message you date and time with a script coming at a later date. The plan I have is to meet once a month, Saturday late morning to early afternoon to help me visually work out the play's kinks and experiment in visualizing certain aspects. Most of this is scripted, but devised understanding will be helpful too.
