Riverwood

AUDITIONS: Sat. 9/26 from 10am-2pm 

CALLBACKS: Sun. 9/27 at 10am


Rehearsals will take place Monday-Thursday from 6-10pm with likely Saturday daytime rehearsals (based on actor schedules), as needed. Rehearsals and performances will be at Stage Left Theater. Performances run November 6-22, 2026.


For this show, the actors get a $50 stipend and will share equally in the Artist Appreciation / Production Tip Pool collected during the run of the show - paid out to cast and run crew after the final performance.


Character Breakdown:

  • TEL – (Male,  15-18 years old)  A headstrong, thoughtful, yet misguided Black young man.
  • CRUNCH – (Male,  15-18 years old)  A Black or biracial young man. A follower coming into his own.
  • DÉDRA – (Female,  mid 20s -late 30s)  A Black woman. A warrior for her community.
  • LENARD – (Male,  30s-early 40s)  A Black man of thirty. A dreamer who forgot how to dream.
  • MISS PENNY– (Female,  50s - 60s+)  A Black woman. Vulnerable when she chooses to be, and firm when she needs to be. Ever the voice of reason for those she loves.

Content Advisory for Auditioners: Strong language, including use of racial slurs; the script also includes a monologue depicting gun violence and police brutality against a Black teenager. Sides for cold readings will be chosen thoughtfully by the director, but feel free to reach out in advance if you'd like more information.
