Reign Drop is currently holding auditions for two roles in a DCASE-funded full-length play, with contemporary dance throughout.

Synopsis
A movement and theater story shining a light on the magic and trials that make up trans lives. Set in 1990s Chicago, this story follows Billy, a young trans man and lawyer dealing with familial hardship; Quinn, a non-binary person navigating sobriety; and August, a trans-femme in search of a chosen family in a new city. Told in two acts, Act One of I AM features vignettes of each main character, getting a glimpse into each of their lived trans experiences. After a tragic incident occurs, Act Two follows these characters as they come together to advocate for visibility and justice within their community and for other underserved folks.
