Auditions for The Pomegranate Tree are now complete.
Check back soon for audition information for the rest of our 2024-2025 season!
|
The Pomegranate Tree is an immersive, devised show disguised as a party inspired by Greek Mythology with tiered levels of interactivity. Audiences will be invited to witness the union of Hades and Persephone, enjoy libations, dance, and help craft the narrative anew each night. As we meet this colorful cast of Deities -- some familiar, some strange -- we are transported to an ethereal plane where Gods navigate their own complicated relationships.
This production is fully interactive with audiences exploring the space and engaging directly with the characters. Actors will be talking to the audience, facilitating activity, and leading the audience through the story. Roles available range from fully devised, original characters to semi-scripted established characters. All actors will participate in devising the show and interacting with audience members. The show will run October 25th through November 9th at Theatre Off Jackson. Rehearsals will begin the last week of August. Dacha rehearsals typically run 3-5 days a week, weeknight evenings and weekend daytimes. |

Who Are We Looking For?

We are always looking to cast a diverse ensemble of artists who are eager to create and explore together.
Artists of all gender identities, ethnicities, ages, and abilities strongly encouraged to apply.
