If you are available and interested in being a part of this production, then please read on!

DETAILS:
DATE: Saturday 9th of September, 14:30
WHERE: Theater de Kunsthut, Zaanstraat 80b 2515 TN The Hague

THE PLAY:
In a not-so-distant future, men accused of sexual misconduct are sent to The Gradient to reckon with their mistakes and get rehabilitated. New employee Tess is eager to hold these men accountable and enact change – but it might not be as simple as it seems.

Steph Del Rosso’s The Gradient is a timely and provocative work that addresses the pressing and problematic issue of sexual misconduct and asks us the question: Can we mass produce forgiveness?

ROLES:
Jackson: A client at The Gradient. Jackson is a tech entrepreneur used to being in charge. Jackson can be suave, charming, and manipulative. He does not just respond to questions, he initiates conversation in an effort to have a more personal connection with Tess. Keeping him on the prescribed path may prove difficult.

Louis: Louis is Tess’ colleague at The Gradient, and knows all the ins-and-outs of the processes used. He is the helpful and friendly co-worker, the kind we all dream of having!

Clients 1-8: Played by a single actor. These clients range from nervous to angry, laid-back to arrogant. The characters require quick switching to create a montage of clients under Tess’ treatment.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION:
Rehearsals will take place on Tuesday evenings, starting at 8 PM, starting from the 19th of September. A full schedule with holidays will be provided once rehearsals have started. The dress rehearsal will be on Thursday the 7th of March in 2024, followed by two weekends of performances at Theater de Kunsthut.

We are also looking into working with schools in combination with workshops on the subject. As this is still in the early stages of development, all plans pertaining to this will be discussed and agreed upon with the cast and crew.

We do request a participation fee of €100 per person to help cover production costs such as licence fees, rehearsal space, etc. However, we aim to pay our actors for the school performances.
