Find out about this Audition Call right here!
We are seeking actors, narrators, and technical artists for a powerful and timely stage adaptation of On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century by Timothy Snyder.
This performance will explore Snyder’s 20 essays—each a chilling, galvanizing call to recognize and resist authoritarianism. From “Defend Institutions” to “Be Calm When the Unthinkable Arrives,” we will bring these lessons to life through a hybrid of monologue, multimedia, movement, and sound.
What we're looking for:
Actors and Readers of all experience levels, all genders, and all ages to embody and deliver individual lessons with emotional intelligence, clarity, and courage.
Technical Crew (at least 3 to 4 needed): Lighting, sound, multimedia support, & a stage manager for a dynamic, minimalist set that echoes the urgency and stark beauty of truth telling.
Performers should be drawn to civic engagement, historical reflection, and the raw emotional charge of ensemble storytelling.Auditions Include:
Cold readings from selected essays.
On Tyranny has been praised as a "manual for survival," and this production is a call to remember that democracy is not self-sustaining ---- it's something we perform, protect, and renew. Join us in creating a piece that challenges, moves, and inspires.
Audition Date & Time: Monday, August 25, 7-10pm
Show Dates: 10/17, 10/18, & 10/19
