Artistry, Education and Excellence Know No Color
Our main goal with this reading performance series is to
try to cast at
least half the roles
with Black, Latino, Asian,
Native American, and any and all other minority actors.
We call them under-represented actors, because their creative talent
often goes overlooked or is given token representation.
We do this to reflect our audience: the
culturally and ethnically diverse
Inwood and Northern Manhattan neighborhoods.
Ultimately, we want people who wish to
work at length on their craft in the Shakespearean canon.
We are committed to
fostering excellence in the theatrcial arts, specifically in
the works of Shakespeare.
We invite you
to come listen and see our neighborhood and audition!
Inwood is the neighborhood of Manhattan at the very northern
tip. After the reading, you can walk across the street and go
up to The Cloisters and enjoy the world's premier collection
of Mediaeval art right in the middle of historic Fort Tryon
Park. You can also take in a baseball game in Inwood Park,
where local teams are scouted by the Minors. After the game,
you can go visit Lucy, the white swan who lives in the inlet
where the Hudson and Harlem rivers meet. Good dining is popping
up in our neighborhood, and it's worth the trip. There is a lot to do up in this great neighborhood and it is all good.
