Casting a satire about an imaginary Southern town, where all the black people have suddenly disappeared. Infants are crying because they are being tended to by strange parents. The Mayor pleads for the President, Governor, and the NAACP to send him "a jackpot of jigaboos." "Day of Absence" is a provocative play presented as a reverse minstrel show (an almost entirely Black cast painted in white-face). The commentary on white privilege and white identity in the absence of people to oppress is quite revolutionary.
There are roles for 4 African American Men between the ages of 25 and 45 and for 3 African American women between the ages of 24 and 45.
Rehearsals will begin February 18.
The production open on March 22 and runs for 4 shows.
Actors compensation varies depending on the size of the role. Average actor compensation is about $600.
