The Straz Center’s BIPOC (Black, Indigenous and people of color) Play-Reading Series is an integral part of the organization’s efforts to be more inclusive and to diversify its artistic offerings. This, in turn, is part of the overall commitment to diversity and inclusivity in all areas of The Straz. This four-part series offers the dramatic experience of hearing excerpts from plays written by talented local and national writers. A question-and-answer period follows, during which writers can provide insight into their creative processes.
Please email a headshot and resume to communityprograms@strazcenter.org to sign-up for an audition time.
Interested actors should prepare a one-minute monologue for their audition.
