NOW CASTING: VELOUR: A DRAG SPECTACULAR

BY SASHA VELOUR AND MOISÉS KAUFMAN
DIRECTED BY MOISÉS KAUFMAN
Produced by La Jolla Playhouse and Tectonic Theater Project

About the show:  An entirely original and immersive theatrical experience inspired by Velour's origin story as a small-town genderfluid child turned globally-renowned drag superstar. The show unfolds through a dazzling blend of innovative projection mapping, video animation, awe-inspiring lip-sync performances, and bold personal storytelling.

This is a paid performance opportunity. Dates, including all rehearsals and performances, run from 07/16/24 - 09/08/24.


NOW CASTING FOR THE BELOW ROLES:

STAGEHAND #1: 20's- early 40's. Seeking women and non-binary LGBTQ+ performers for this track. When conflict erupts, #1 is the peacemaker of the bunch—thoughtful, informed, generous. Looking for a performer with experience in drag, burlesque, pole dancing, or similar disciplines. Actively seeking Performers of Color.

STAGEHAND #2: 20's-early 40's. Seeking male presenting LGBTQ+ performers for this track. The instigator of the bunch—energetic, confident, and ultimately a bit camp. Looking for a performer with singing/musical theatre experience. Would be interested in potentially exploring drag kings for this track as well.

STAGEHAND #3: 20's-early 40's. Seeking LGBTQ+ Performers of Color for this track. When the stagehands stage their rebellion, #3 reveals their Drag identity and has a big solo moment! Looking for performers with solid experience in Drag. ACTIVELY SEEKING PERFORMERS BASED IN THE SAN DIEGO AREA FOR THIS TRACK.

All three stagehands will perform 1-2 songs, which will include singing, dancing, and, yes, Drag in the show. Performers interested in this project must, at minimum, be comfortable with that and ideally have some experience with the art form.
