Climate Change Theatre Action - Chicago seeks actors for an international festival of short plays and other curated artistic experiences on the evenings of November 22 & 23, and the afternoon of November 24, at The Martin in Wicker Park.
Climate Change Theatre Action (CCTA) is a worldwide series of readings and performances of short climate change plays presented biennially in support of the United Nations Conference of the Parties (COP meetings).
CCTA 2019 is a collaboration between NoPassport Theatre Alliance and the Arctic Cycle. This Chicago production is produced by Iris Sowlat, Athanasia Sawicz, and Switchboard Ensemble.
The evening will feature 8-10 short plays that explore the topic of Climate Change and its effects all over the world. The plays feature characters who represent a diverse range of backgrounds, nationalities, races, ages, genders, abilities, and experiences.
There will be around 1-3 rehearsals per short play, determined by the schedules of the director and cast.
While we hope to pay artists a small stipend out of proceeds, depending on ticket sales, please consider this a 'pro bono' project in the service of a great cause!
In addition, we are also seeking performances from musicians, poets, and other performance artists, as well as visual art to include in the festival. If you have a performance skill or piece of visual art you would like to showcase, please let us know.
Contact Info:
Please email iris.sowlat@gmail.com by October 1 with your headshot and resume availability on November 22-24, and general weekend/evening availability through November 22.
You will hear from one of the directors by October 10, 2019, with a definitive answer on whether or not you were cast, or if any of the directors would like to see more of your work (such as a video submission) before casting you.
