AUDITION FOR OUR SPRING 2020 PRODUCTION OF TEA
Casting 5 female Asian American roles for TEA by Velina Hasu Houston. It is the critically-acclaimed play about Japanese war brides from World War II now living in Kansas gathering for a farewell tea ceremony for one of their members who has mysteriously passed away.
*We are double casting all the roles.
HIMIKO HAMILTON, Asian American 20--40. A strong, but fragile woman worn down by circumstances of war and of domestic abuse. She has an intensity that both repels and attracts. Murdered her husband, and was released on self-defense. Has lost her only child and is unable to confront the way that she died.
TERUKO MACKENZIE, Asian American 20-40. A cheerful woman who skillfully maintains a veneer of sweet politeness. Devoted to her husband and daughter.
ATSUKO YAMAMOTO, Asian American 20-40. A nationalistic, overly proud, sophisticated woman with entrenched ideas about what is Japanese and what is not. Married to a Japanese American who strives for acculturation.
.
SETSUKO BANKS, Asian American 20-45. A gracious, compassionate, overly deferential woman quieted by the weight of prejudice.
CHIZUYE JUAREZ, Asian American 20-40, mezzo soprano. A woman carrying deeply buried memories of loss that she counters with external strength, verve, and independence; seeks acculturation as a means of survival.
