The (Beat) Theatre Collective
Ensemble Members

Pay: Stipend

Description:

The (Beat) Theatre Collective seeks 8 ensemble members for Project: HOPE, a two week workshop that culminates in 4 performances of a new work, Hope Wanted, written and directed by Justin Michael Dietzel.

An everyday busy street is the environment for this play which lays its focus on the homeless epidemic in a city near you. By utilizing music, movement pieces, and simple human interactions, Hope Wanted digs its way through the trenches of humankind's most beautiful and ugly moments. It explores how terrifyingly easy it can be to lose everything and fade into the background, eventually becoming invisible to the world.

Auditions will be held at Collaboraction Studios in The Flat Iron Arts Building 1579 N. Milwaukee Ave Suite #336, Chicago, IL 60622

Type/Restrictions: 8 ensemble members. We encourage actors of all backgrounds and ethnicities to submit. Movement background and/or ability to play an instrument is a plus.

Our Mission
The (Beat) Theatre Collective aims to spark change by creating art that provokes, unites, and enriches our audiences and artists alike. By exploring new works and blowing the dust off of the classics, we promise to remain constantly malleable in the way we produce and vow to always question both ourselves, and our role in the community.
