Announcing Auditions for

YOUNG JEAN LEE’S THEATER COMPANY – THE SHIPMENT

Written and Directed by Young Jean Lee

Award-winning, internationally touring theater company seeks trained, non-Equity African-American actors (male and female) of all ages who are available to rehearse 20 hours/week from September 26-October 24 and December 1-January 7. This will be for a tour (World Premiere) to the Wexner Center (Columbus, OH) from October 26-November 2 and a run in New York at The Kitchen (NYC Premiere) from January 8-24. Experience with experimental/non-traditional theater and collaboration a must. Dance and hip-hop skills a plus. This is a paying gig.

THE SHIPMENT is an extremely awkward exploration of the experience of being black in America, written and directed by a Korean-American — an uneasy confrontation with cultural covetousness and cluelessness that stirs up all the questions that people try to avoid.
