Credit can potentially be earned for participation in Metro’s Theater Productions on and off stage. Eight men and three women are needed to fill the roles.
The productions are:
DREAM DIG
By Mark Stewart
The opportunity to join an archaeological dig provides the incentive of a lifetime for a bright, energetic and slightly unscrupulous young college man. But first he must earn the additional money to study abroad. Where he ultimately ends up might just surprise you in this engaging comedy filled with hilarious characters and zany situations.
58 MONTHS
By Benjamin Franklin Granger
A smug and arrogant, self-possessed young man, arrested for several hard core drug violations, is thrown into jail certain he can “beat the rap”. As friends and family fail him, he comes to depend on several of his newly acquired inmate friends found behind bars. Will he succeed or will he fail? A penetrating look at this country’s justice system as seen from within.
