Auditions

We are casting a nationwide ensemble of 6-8 Deaf actors fluent in ASL (submit below.) Hilari and MoMo will guide the cast to create an original full-length professional play together. Each actor will get to develop their own characters and dialogue within the play’s structure. Although acting skills are important, we are focusing on each person’s creativity, storytelling skills and passion for working in an ensemble and being part of this project. Hearing actors will be cast later this summer for voicing.
