rain falls special on me- Auditions

Ground Floor Theatre is holding auditions for rain falls special on me written by Lane Michael Stanley and directed by Patti Neff-Tiven. When it rains in Austin, Texas, the best place to stay dry through the night is behind the theater. Weather and circumstance bring together Mikey, Snake, Miss Candace, Motor, Mac, and Julie – all of whom are on the street for different reasons, here now to navigate their relationships, dreams, and often, survival.

Auditions will be held at Ground Floor Theatre (979 Springdale Rd Suite 122) on Saturday, February 15, 2020 from 1 pm – 5 pm by appointment only (contact info below).  Auditions will consist of cold readings from the script.  Auditioners should bring a resume and headshot with them.   Ground Floor Theatre is committed to inclusivity and as such unless specifically called for in the script, we cast without consideration to ability, race, ethnicity, gender identity, sexual orientation, size, or shape.
