A Memorial Service for Lily Evergreen is a new immersive theatrical experience, conceived by Becca and Jason Johnson-Spinos, directed by Jason Johnson-Spinos, with choreography and additional direction by Becca Johnson-Spinos. Harper Lee is creative consultant and assistant director. The show will be devised by the cast and directors.
In the style of productions like Sleep No More, Outcry Theatre presents a new immersive theatrical experience, A Memorial Service for Lily Evergreen. You are invited to attend the celebration of life for a young woman who died under very mysterious circumstances. The other invited guests each have their own complicated relationships with Lily, and you have to wonder if the killer might be in attendance. These guests will be both inside and outside the Stone Cottage where the memorial is being held, and if you follow them around, you may learn more about their connection to Lily. At the same time, these events are highly spiritual, and there’s always a chance that the dead will be watching.
Casting a diverse group of actors ages 18 and up (high school graduates) who are comfortable with physical movement and improvisation. We are especially seeking creative individuals with interests in writing and storytelling who are excited at the prospect of collaborating on building a unique, site-specific piece of theatre.
Auditions are October 20, from 6-8pm or 8-10pm. Auditions will consist of a dance call and improvised scenes.
