CASTING CALL
for La Caccina’s fall 2024 concert, the lark
The Lark is a concert that honors the clear-eyed vision and courage of Joan of Arc. The concert’s second half will consist of Leonard Bernstein’s music for Lillian Hellman’s adaptation of The Lark, in conversation with monologues from the play.
Seeking femme-presenting actors to portray JOAN (14-19), a young woman of intense faith and courage. Determined, intelligent, direct, brave. Able to read people and respond to their moods almost instantly. Clever, but not superior.
