ABUELA is looking for ACTORS

A short play for the Festival of New Writing needs FOUR ACTORS!

We are Clara (writer, she/her) and Anna (director, she/her) and we are excited to bring “Abuela” to life! The play explores queer coming-of-age and complex family relationships within a contemporary Latin American context. If any of this interests you, please consider auditioning! This will be a low-medium commitment project, as the play is only 20-25 minutes long and we will work out a rehearsal schedule around cast availability!

Set inside a multigenerational, all-female home in the heart of Venezuela’s capital, “Abuela” explores queer adolescence, inherited faith, and the layered relationships between mothers and daughters in a country shaped by devotion, scarcity, and unrest.

Although the play is set in Venezuela and there are a few words in Spanish in the script, we will provide all necessary context so there is no need to be fluent to audition!

Sunday 22/02: 11am - 1pm / 5pm - 8pm
Monday 23/03: 5:20-6pm
Tuesday 24/03: 4:30 - 5:30pm
Thursday 26/03: 3:30-4:30pm
