UPCOMING AUDITION:

Hungry Woman

by Cherrie Moraga

Cherrie Moraga takes on the myth of Medea in this Chicana spin on the Greek tragedy. In the near future, Medea, a lesbian woman in exile from Aztlán, lives with lover Luna and son Chac-Mool in a North America that has collapsed into a collection of racially and homophobically Balkanized states. When her ex-husband, Jason, angles to get custody of his son for political reasons, Medea is consumed with the fear that he will turn her son against her. This time-honored tragic tale is told in a way that brings its continuing relevance to the fore and employs a stirring blend of Greek and Chicano mythology to make its point.

Casting actors age 12 and older.
Please come prepared to perform a modern monologue.
Reading the play in advance is recommended.

Performed May 1-10.
