Auditions for THE ARIZONA ORPHAN ABDUCTION Research Team at Rising Youth Theatre announced for February 22 & 23




Auditions for The Arizona Orphan Abduction Research Team


Join Rising Youth Theatre for the beginning research phase of the Arizona Orphan Abduction, a new play about a unique moment in Arizona history. We are seeking 3-5 youth artists (ages 14 - 24) to join a creative team that will research and develop an immersive theatre experience. No previous experience is required, but an interest in research, design, and storytelling is encouraged. 

THE STORY
In 1904, forty Irish Catholic orphans were brought to Arizona so they could be placed with Catholic families. These families, like most Catholics in Arizona at the time, were Mexican. White people in the community, enraged at the idea of white children being placed in Mexican homes, formed a vigilante squad to “rescue” them, over the objection of both the children and their adoptive families. This violent mob kidnapped the children, nearly lynching the local nuns and priest in the process. When the Catholic church sued on behalf of the families to get their children back, the courts ruled in favor of the kidnappers. 

REHEARSAL COMMITMENT

For this initial phase, we will meet in person once a week at the Phoenix Center for the Arts (1202 N. 3rd Street, Phoenix, AZ 85004) Rehearsals will be held on Saturdays from 12pm - 4pm from March 25 through May 13, 2023 with a day trip to Clifton-Morenci on April 1, 2023. The project will then pick back up again in the fall, culminating in a performance sharing in October 2023. 

COMPENSATION 

All participants are paid for their time! Youth artists will receive a $200 stipend for the spring 2023 session, and all travel costs for the overnight trip will be covered. 

AUDITION 

Auditions will be held on zoom on February 22 and 23, 2023. There is no need to prepare anything for the audition, it is more of a conversation about the project and how you would imagine yourself engaging with it.  

QUESTIONS

If you have questions about the project or the audition experience, please contact SofĂ­a Fencken at sofia@risingyouththeatre.org
