SCREENS CAN ONLY DO SO MUCH
Written and Directed by Kaleb Dufrene
SUMMARY: The average person spends 3 hours a day on their phone. That adds up to 7 years of our lives spent pointlessly starring at a screen. What has to happen for us to finally put down the phone? Is this technology really making us better?
SEEKING: 10 performers between the ages of 13-19 to play a variety of roles. Roles are not gender specific.
COMPENSATION: All NextStage actors of any age are always paid. Actors will have two avenues of compensation for this production.
1. Base pay from ticket sales: Our actors split 50% of our gross ticket sales.
2. Our Actor Tip Jar: We set up a virtual tip jar through PayPal that can be accessed before, during, and after our production. There is no minimum or maximum that actors can be paid in this fashion. This is an account we have set up so anyone can donate and the proceeds are divided evenly at the end of the production. We've had great success with this system from our past productions.
