Teatro Vista
American Jornalero

Pay: Yes

Description:

Teatro Vista announces equity and non-equity auditions for American Jornalero by Ed Cardona Jr. and directed by ensemble member Nate Santana.

ABOUT THE PLAY
A group of immigrant day laborers waiting to be picked up for work collide with two citizen vigilantes fashioning themselves on the Minuteman Project. American Jornalero is a vibrant portrait of the intersecting transient lives in the search for a daily wage in a land of many compromised American dreams. It is a compassionate, clear-eyed and illuminating look at lives and people too often ignored in the US landscape.

American Jornalero is Teatro Vista's entry in the Chicago Latino International Theatre Festival.
