I don't think Imagination Stage could ask for a better critical perspective, and you have the finest mentors at DCTheatreScene. I was noticing your performance information in your bio and wanted to personally invite you to audition for a production I am directing for Landless Theatre Company. It is the DC Premiere of the hit off-Broadway musical A VERY MERRY UNAUTHORIZED CHILDREN'S SCIENTOLOGY PAGEANT written by a popular young playwright/composer named Kyle Jarrow (who will, in my humble opinion, carry on the legacy of Jonathan Larson!). I love this play because some people think it a very funny satire, while others think it's like a "Godspell" for a new age about a unique religious freethinker. It's smart, funny, and it really makes people think! The music is pretty cool, too. I'm currently auditioning a cast of 7-10 young actors (boys and girls) between the ages of 8 and 13 years old. There is a small stipend and 16 performances at DCAC, so the production will be seen and adjudicated by the Helen Hayes Awards. More information is online at our website, www.landlesstheatrecompany.org. I know a lot of talented students, but very few can also write like this - and that is the sort of actor I need for this play, so I hope you will audition. Please have your parent or guardian send us an email at landlesscasting@gmail.com if you'd like to schedule an audition appointment! Best, Andrew Baughman Producing Artistic Director The Landless Theatre Company P.S. - Parents of other talented young actors are certainly welcome and encouraged to send headshots/resumes to us at landlesscasting@gmail.com, too, for audition consideration. This is a very unique opportunity, and we'd love to hear from you! Excellent review, Jonny!
