TRANSPORT

Rehearses April 9-11
Performs April 12
A mother desperately seeks help to address issues with her daughter and hires an agent from the so-called “troubled teen industry” to legally kidnap her daughter and transport them to a residential school in Utah.

The edges of desperation and compassion are far from clear for all involved in this difficult situation.

BEFORE YOUR CHILD AUDITIONS, THERE ARE A FEW THINGS YOU SHOULD DISCUSS:
A play is a commitment of time and energy. Make sure you review the rehearsal and performance schedule in advance. Do you anticipate any conflicts with soccer, piano, or other activities? If so, it’s important to be honest and let the us know of conflicts in advance. If your child has multiple conflicts, you might also want to encourage your child to take on a less time-consuming position with the production. Remember, every contribution is important!
PREPARE
You’ll receive a scene from the script to read out loud when you arrive at the auitions.
