EVA LUNA - Teatro Dallas Non Equity Auditions
Teatro Dallas
AUDITION NOTICE: EVA LUNA
Teatro Dallas is seeking actors for Eva Luna, adapted by Caridad Svich from the novel by Isabel Allende.
Set against a backdrop of political unrest in an unnamed South American country, Eva Luna follows a young woman who survives poverty, displacement, and violence through the power of storytelling. Blending magical realism, music, memory, and ensemble-driven performance, the play explores resilience, migration, gender, identity, censorship, and the communities we create to survive.
Rehearsals begin: Sep. 28th
Run: Nov. 6-22
$1,200 stipend for the show. No travel or housing.
We are seeking actors for the following roles:
Eva Luna
A young Latina storyteller who grows from an orphaned child into a confident artist. Intelligent, imaginative, defiant, funny, and emotionally resilient.
Riad Halabi
A Lebanese immigrant and shopkeeper who becomes a compassionate father figure to Eva. Likely reads as 40s to 60s.
Huberto Naranjo
A charismatic, street-smart revolutionary who becomes Eva’s protector and complicated love interest. Likely reads as 20s to 30s.
Rolf Carle
An Austrian expatriate and photojournalist shaped by war, displacement, and a need to document the truth. Likely reads as 30s to 50s.
