Grounded

By George Brant

Directed by Kimberly Faith Hickman

 

Auditions are Tuesday August 18, 2020 from 6:00pm-9:00pm via Zoom appointment only. Sides will be emailed to actors after an appointment is made. The sole character of Grounded is a female pilot. Actors who identify as cisgender women, transgender women and nonbinary women are encouraged to audition.

 

An ace fighter pilot finds herself grounded when an unexpected pregnancy cuts her career in the sky short. Reassigned to military drone operation, the former F-15 pilot patrols Afghanistan by day – from a windowless trailer outside of Las Vegas – and returns to her family at night. But as professional pressure mounts, the lines between the desert where she lives and the desert where she hunts high-profile terrorists begins to blur.

I Am My Own Wife

By Doug Wright

Directed by Kimberly Faith Hickman

 

Auditions are Saturday September 19, 2020 from 2:00-5:00pm via Zoom by appointment only. Sides will be emailed to actors after an appointment is made. The primary character of I Am My Own Wife is Charlotte von Mahlsdorf, a transgender woman who survives oppressive regimes. Actors who identify as transgender women, nonbinary and feminine of center are greatly encouraged to audition and will be given preference. Cisgender men can also audition.

 

The Tony Award and Pulitzer Prize-winning true story about Charlotte von Mahlsdorf, an East Berlin transgender woman who survived two of the most repressive totalitarian regimes in history – the Nazis and the Communists – while openly flouting gender norms. Born to a brutal Nazi father, Charlotte went on to become a highly celebrated antiques collector and curator of her own museum. An incredible tale – with one actor playing 35 different roles – filled with intrigue, danger and conspiracy that examines the balance between morality and survival.
