TEMPEST - The Red Door Theatre Company Non Equity Auditions

Tempest is a unique story of jealousy, love, & forgiveness set within the visually bold world of Native American myth & magic while drawing heavily from Shakespeare’s tale of skillful illusion.

When Prospera, Daughter of Light, stole the Eternal Book & hid it on Earth she accidentally killed Sycorax, the goddess of creation & left orphaned Caliban & Miranda, the gods of imagination & meaning. Join the Shake’paw tribe as they re-enact Earth’s creation tale wherein Prospera must make right her wrongs by returning the Eternal Book to the god Sebas’t Enoch.
