What: Circle Theatre and Institute for Holocaust Education call for ACTORS
THIS IS A PAID OPPORTUNITY, and we are specifically looking for BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) performers, as well as performers with disabilities. The creative team will practice identity-conscious casting in this production.
Context: Circle Theatre will create a multi-layered production that reflects the diversity of our community.
Compensation: $2,100/ artist
The Play: When We Go Away by J.R. Dawson. When We Go Away tells the stories of Nebraska Holocaust Survivors. The play asks the question: Who will tell the stories of these survivors when they are no longer here to tell them?
When: June 14th and 16th 6:00P.M. by appointment only
To make an appointment please email: info@ihene.org
Where: Jewish Community Center Theater, 333 South 132 Street Omaha NE 68132
