Charles Randolph-Wright at Actor's Theatre 10/6 - 10/10

Actor's Theatre of Charlotte would like to announce that Charles Randolph-Wright, director of Broadway's MOTOWN THE MUSICAL, and Grammy Award-winning recording artist, BeBe Winans, will be in residence from October 6th through October 10th to develop their new musical, WHERE WE BELONG. With a book by Mr. Randolph-Wright and music and lyrics by BeBe Winans, this will give local actors an opportunity to work with these internationally renowned artists in their efforts to bring this inspiring true story from the page to the stage.

The workshop will rehearse weeknights on Monday, October 6th through Tuesday, October 9th from 6:00 PM till 10:00 PM with tentative plans to present a private, informal reading the evening of the 9th. Note that while we will be looking to cast as close to type as possible, we are most interested in finding local artists who are eager to be part of the development of this new piece. Although WHERE WE BELONG is a musical, the focus of this reading will be script development. We encourage you to submit even if you're not a singer.

If you would like to be considered, please submit your headshot and resume along with your availability the evenings of the 6th through the 9th to our Producer-In-Residence, Martin Wilkins, at martinw@atcharlotte.org. Also, let us know if you have any availability during the day as well. Mr. Randolph-Wright may be interested in doing additional work if schedules permit.
