***PLAYWRIGHT'S NOTE***
Characters will be played by adult actors in the 20s to 30s age range who can convey a youthful energy and innocence but should not focus too much on "acting like" a child.
*Play deals with sensitive subject matters, like racism, addiction, sexism, homophobia, and physical abuse.
To schedule an appointment and/or ask questions, please send a headshot (snapshot) and resume to reginaldrrichard@gmail.com along with a preferred audition time.
**Video submissions will also be accepted.**
Wannabe is an exploration of the resilience of youth, friendship, and dreams across a rugged landscape -- the 80s and 90s.
