Auditions for Moved By Providence

In the spring of 2021, as the world re-thinks race and entitlement, two acquaintances are thrown together by…circumstance? Libby, a privileged white student from the Minneapolis western suburbs, and Zelda, a black business owner on Lake Street. Both seek truth, enlightenment, and financial independence with different results. So is Providence truly… divine?

Libby- A seeker of truth and a student. White.

Zelda – A shaman, business owner, person of color.

Ben – A chemical engineer and partner to Libby.

Fran – The 80-year-old WASP mother of Ben.

Providence – A celestial advisor and shape shifter.

Please arrive as near to the beginning of auditions as possible. No preparation is necessary and selections from the script will be provided.

Rehearsals will be flexible depending on student’s class load and other commitments, but those students accepting roles must be available for at least four afternoons or evenings a week until Nov 20.
