Description:

Filament Theatre is now accepting auditions for its upcoming production of a new play, Think Fast, Jordan Chase! written by Sonia Goldberg and directed by Jamal Howard. Filament is seeking submissions for Ryan - Understudy (she/her, ambulatory mobility disability, BIPOC preferred - open to all races).

*We are working with an accessibility representative for this production.*

Think Fast, Jordan Chase! Is a choose-your-own-adventure play that travels through time and space. We follow Jordan as she navigates the difficulties of making a decision that might negatively affect her relationship with her best friend, Mahari, and a decision that may harm the new student, Ryan.

With a call for help to the audience and her mystical Grandma Nicky, Jordan makes the decision that is right for her. By transporting Jordan to space, a deserted beach, or a fantasy land Grandma Nicky sets Jordan on a journey to get to the root of the problem between Mahari and Ryan.

Character Breakdown:
Ryan Understudy (she/her, mobility disability, BIPOC preferred - open to all races) is the new kid in school, with a sense of humor who has learned to cope with their peers bullying them. Ryan is unafraid to meet their bully's degrading words with their own brand of callousness.

Ryan has an ambulatory mobility disability. We are only accepting submissions from folks who have a disability that affects their walking. This role also calls for someone who is comfortable performing a sword fight.

Pay: $390 + $30 per performance performed
