Call for Actor-Musicians: Trusty Sidekick Theater Company
Trusty Sidekick is specifically interested in seeing a diverse group of performers for this audition. Artists of all races, ethnicities, and ages (18+) are highly encouraged to submit.
Trusty Sidekick Theater Company seeks Actor-Musicians for an ensemble-driven new work for young audiences. The piece will be developed in two phases starting this February, culminating in a workshop production in late April/early May 2015. The project, commissioned by Lincoln Center Education, is a multi-sensory piece of theater designed specifically for young people on the autism spectrum and their caregivers. The project is fueled by the belief that all children deserve to experience high-quality live performance.
Using Trusty Sidekick Theater Company's innovative model for new work development, performers will be an active part of the devising process, collaborating with other theater-makers and designers.
More information on the project can be found here: aboutlincolncenter.org/press-room/release/750
Additional Information
A stipend will be provided for each phase of development. All rehearsals and the culminating workshop production will be held at Lincoln Center. Performers from the original workshop production will be considered for casting in a full run of the piece, presented by Lincoln Center Education in the 2015-2016 season.
