Company One Theatre is seeking local non-AEA actors for Titans by Jesse Jae Hoon, directed by Natsu Onoda Power. We will be holding a first round of auditions on September 26 from 12pm-6pm and September 29 from 5pm-9pm at the Boston Center for the Arts. Callbacks will be held in mid October over Zoom to include some out of town collaborators.
Titans rehearsals will start on December 8 and will take place Tuesday through Friday evenings (6pm-10pm) and Saturday afternoons (12pm-6pm). We will be off from Dec 24-28 and Dec 31-Jan 1 for the holidays. This production will take place at Suffolk University’s Modern Theatre from Jan 22-30 and then run at a second community space in Boston from Feb 5-27
Power to the people! Titans follows a group of ordinary residents in an overrun American city who organize and mobilize in response to ICE raids in their community. Written by rising star Jesse Jae Hoon and directed by longtime Company One collaborator Natsu Onoda Power, Titans presents a vision of what is possible when regular people work together and reminds us all of our innate extraordinary power.
Actors will be paid $350 per week
