Because we use young adults as actors, we are continually seeking new talent and understudies for our shows. This is an ensemble show, and as such, we seek energetic, strong actors who act, sing and move well to play urban teens, aged 17-23. The show features a series of edgy, poignant sketches that illustrate contemporary teen issues interwoven with pop and rap music. It tours to suburban and city schools. The show may provide continuous employment through the summer and school year. Some travel is required as necessitated by bookings. Shows CAN occur 1 time per week and up to 3 times per week.
