MPAACT announces auditions for Feral, by Shepsu Aakhu.

SYNOPSIS: The word FERAL has been tagged on buildings across the city. FX (Francis Xavier) is behind this politically motivated campaign. He is young, Black and full to bursting with ideas about himself and the world around him. On a warm night in late July, FX and the local police share a moment of violence. The city and country respond...but what about FX, his family, friends, and the complex ideas that he hoped to communicate? In the national conversation "Black Lives Matter," FERAL looks at youth, idealism, and desperation.
