This Is Our Youth (Casting for Warren)

Set in New York in 1982, This Is Our Youth follows forty-eight hours in the lives of three very lost young souls: Warren, a dejected nineteen year old who has just stolen $15,000 from his abusive, tycoon father; Dennis, his charismatic drug-dealing friend who helps Warren put the stolen money to good use; and, Jessica, the anxiously insightful young woman who Warren yearns for. Funny, painful and compassionate, This Is Our Youth is a living snapshot of the moment when many young people go out into the world on their own, armed only with the ideas and techniques they developed as teenagers—far more sophisticated than their parents realize, and far less effectual than they themselves can possibly imagine. Casting for Warren: Warren (18-24): lead; an awkward and attractive young man who is lost in the world; has feelings for his friend Jessica, but has trouble showing them. Auditions will be held locally at the Area Stage Company (5701 Sunset Drive Miami FL 33146 Suite 286) on March 2nd, 2022 at 7pm. Please come prepared with a one-minute monologue from a published play.
