🎭 AUDITION NOTICE 🎭
Permanent Collection by Thomas Gibbons
Directed by Reuben J. Tapp
📅 Auditions:
Saturday, September 28, 2024 @ 12:30 PM
✨ About the Play:
When the newly appointed Director of The Morris Foundation proposes a bold move to display African reliquary artifacts alongside renowned Impressionist works, it sets off a firestorm of debate. What begins as an artistic decision unravels into a gripping exploration of race, culture, and identity, pushing the foundation—and its people—to the brink. Permanent Collection is a powerful, thought-provoking drama filled with tension, betrayal, and questions about the value of tradition and innovation in the world of art.
We are casting for all available roles!
Actors of all backgrounds are encouraged to audition.
📍 Location & Role Details: Blackfriars Theatre 795 East Main St, Rochester, NY 14605
