Actors NEEDED FOR DRY LAND AT THE WILBURY GROUP

The Wilbury Group is seeking volunteers to appear in our upcoming production of Dry Land as members of a high school girls swim team! If you've been looking for an opportunity to build your resume and work on an exciting new play then this is a great opportunity for you! 

As a volunteer extra, we ask that you commit to at least two (or more!) performances per week for the 3 weeks of the run as well as a few rehearsals outside and during tech weekend. We open with the the first preview on Sept 17 and tech weekend is Friday Sept 11-Sunday Sept 13. Please see the full calendar of scheduled performances below.

If you are interested, please email Artistic Director Josh Short at josh@thewilburygroup.org. We will set an extras meeting for August with the rest of the cast and creative team to talk about the play, your role in it and answer any questions you may have. We will collect availability at that time and put together a schedule.

Please note that we are asking that our volunteers be women who can play high-schoolers between the ages of 16-19, self-sufficient, and low maintenance.

ABOUT THE PLAY
DRY LAND by Ruby Rae Spiegel
Directed by Josh Short 
SEPTEMBER 17-OCTOBER 3

Ester is a swimmer trying to stay afloat. Amy is curled up on the locker room floor. Victor hates jocks but not girls. Reba just wants to party. A play about girls, abortion, bath salts, bathing suits, rashes, love, and what happens in one high school locker room after everybody’s left. A finalist for the 2014 Susan Smith Blackburn Prize for Drama, this heartfelt, hilarious, and gut-wrenching new play by one of the America's most promising young playwrights will leave audiences gasping for air. "Remarkable...this portrait of an unlikely friendship under uncommon pressure is tender, caustic, funny and harrowing, often all at the same time." -The New York Times
