AUDITIONS POSTPONED
Soul Trading by Kate Walder & Shack by George Kemp
This year ATYP is running two different productions on alternate nights at the famous SBW Stables Theatre, home of Griffin Theatre Company. That means young actors have twice opportunity to be cast in an ATYP production!
SOUL TRADING (directed by Heather Campbell)
The year is 2079. Humans are created with gene selection technology; artificial Intelligence is part of everyday life and children’s best friends are their Learning Bots. Except for Jerry. Jerry is not like the others. Neither is Neutron Finch, an exceptionally clever Learning Bot who seems to appear out of nowhere. He is smarter than most Bots, funnier and also possibly illegal.
SHACK (directed by Fraser Corfield)
Antarctica. A blizzard. Eight schoolkids are stranded in a shack, on the bottom of the world, with a sinister force circling outside… Our young explorers, in the ghostly footsteps of Ernest Shackleton, question their place in the natural and social order of the world as the limits of their courage are pushed into unchartered waters. Safety (and sanity) seems to be drifting farther and farther away.
