THE VIOLINS OF HOPE EDUCATIONAL CONCERTS

Looking for 2 DYNAMIC ACTORS with strong verbal skills - 1 Female and 1 Male actor to appear in a series of Educational Concerts for The Cleveland Orchestra called The Violins of Hope. 

Both should be in their 20’s.

If the male actor has a working knowledge of Hebrew, it would be helpful BUT this is not a necessity. 

PERFORMANCES ARE DURING THE DAY, SO PLEASE CHECK SCHEDULE BELOW. 

There will be a $300.00 payment for your involvement. 

The production revolves around violins saved during the Holocaust that remain in use now by musicians in Israel and around the world. 

This is an hour-long presentation and there is about 15 minutes of text wedded into the 45 minutes of music. This is a mix of direct audience narration with very short scenes. This is a REMOUNT from last year and so the staging will be recreated. Performances will be held at the new Maltz Performing Arts complex at University Circle. 

This is the rehearsal/performance schedule.

ALL performances are during the DAY.

Since there is very little text to learn and this is a remount, the rehearsal schedule is not heavy.
