We are seeking understudies for all three characters in our production, ''Renaissance in the Belly of a Killer Whale.'' This play tells the story of three young native Harlem women who journey through its streets, history, landmarks, renaissance, and evolving culture. Through a montage of dialogue, spoken word poetry, song, and memories, these young women weave picturesque stories that explore the multifaceted issue of gentrification. By turns deeply moving and uproariously funny, the performers bring to life their home neighborhood, the world famous village of Harlem, and highlight one vital idea that rings true for them all: They wish to establish a new Harlem Renaissance that will embrace the inevitable change to their neighborhood while revitalizing the rich culture of its past.
All understudies must be ready to perform at any time.
