Free Street Youth Ensemble Audition
October 4, 2022 @ 5:00 pm - 6:30 pm
Free Street is inviting youth ages 14-19 to join our ensemble! Every year, this ensemble comes together to create an original play about issues affecting Chicago youth. During this process, our ensemble learns performance and writing techniques, while partnering with community organizations, and learning from arts professionals through weekly workshops. We welcome youth with all levels of theatrical training, from all across the city.
WHERE:
1419 W Blackhawk St. Floor 3 Chicago, IL 60642
Masks are required
Pulaski Park is under construction, but you can enter the building and get to the third floor.
WHAT TO EXPECT AT THE AUDITION:
An workshop style day, to give you a sense of what an average day at Free Street would look like. You’ll talk, move around, and learn about the program.
Youth are expected to arrive at the start of the audition time, and stay for the full duration. DM us or email katrina@freestreet.org if you have time concerns.
