(F)UNFAIR

Dacha Theatre

About the project and the company

Seeking actors, dancers, movers and artists of all backgrounds and disciplines! 

 

Dacha Theatre is auditioning for this summer’s original devised production (F)UNFAIR, a partnership with Boston-based Playable Theatre Project.

 

Set in a surreally dysfunctional carnival, (F)UNFAIR is a unique interactive experience where the audience plays games, interacts with carnival workers, and transforms the rules of the world – providing a playful and timely opportunity to confront the failures of capitalism and the economic systems that govern our lives. The production will be devised by the ensemble, with performers working closely with the creative team to build characters, narratives, and other content for the show.

 

Those who attended generals at the beginning of the year must re-submit for this show. 

 

Variable stipends are available for all roles.
