AUDITION FOR VIRGINIA PLAYERS LAB SERIES!

My Name is Rachel Corrie, written by Alan Rickman, directed by Nora Zahn

 

“On March 16, 2003, Rachel Corrie, a twenty-three-year-old American, was killed in Gaza as she was trying to prevent the demolition of a Palestinian home. MY NAME IS RACHEL CORRIE is a one-woman play composed from Rachel’s own journals, letters and emails – creating a portrait of a messy, articulate, Salvador Dali-loving chain-smoker (with a passion for the music of Pat Benatar), who left her home and school in Olympia, Washington, to work as an activist in the heart of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. In the three sold-out London runs since it’s Royal Court premiere, the piece has been surrounded by both controversy and impassioned proponents, and has raised an unprecedented call to support political work and the difficult discourse it creates.”

 

An Intervention, written by Mike Bartlett, directed by Aspen Miller 

 

“One of them went on the anti-war protest, shouted their lungs out, then got horrendously and staggeringly drunk. The other stayed at home, watched TV for a bit, and thought about the future.”

Application deadlines for Reading Series and Committees have been extended through September 9 at 11:59pm!

Want to direct a play? Perfect! Propose a show through VA Players Lab Series! This opportunity is a great way  to try directing if you’ve always wanted to try it, or it’s a great way to develop established directing skills. Check out how to apply here.
