After - a World Premiere By Mona Mansour & Tala Manassah http://www.york.cuny.edu/events/after-world-premiere-mar21 Directed by Adjunct Assistant Professor Hadi Tabbal. Set Design by Adjunct Lecturer David T. Jones; Lighting Design by Adjunct Assistant Professor Evan K. Schmidt; Production/Stage Manager, CLT Jessica Morales (member of AEA); Technical Director, CLT Benjamin MacKrell. With: (York College students) Malika Alami Binani, Matthew Echevarria, Isaac Lama, Bukola Ogunmola, and Mariel Suriel; (and guest artist) Yusef Bulos. York College Theatre continues its 2012-13 “Season of Diversity” with AFTER, a world premiere play by Mona Mansour and Tala Manassah that reveals the captivating world and intimate struggles of an Arab-American family in New York City.

Set in a family-owned bookstore in modern-day Brooklyn, Tariq, a high school student barely skirting straight F’s, struggles to find his voice in his family and surrounding community. With his only friend Amelia, a dedicated activist, Tariq exploits his one superior talent that is nothing short of dangerous: hacking the internet. When his cousin Rania arrives to the United States under extremely mysterious circumstances, her presence causes a series of events that force Tariq and his family to reevaluate their fundamental ideas about generational differences, discrimination, and truth.

Following The House, commissioned by Noor Theater (resident company at New York Theater Workshop) and The Letter, produced by Golden Thread in San Francisco this past fall, Mansour and Manassah continue their collaboration of creating original work with AFTER. Director Hadi Tabbal played the lead role in Mansour’s world premiere production of The Hour of Feeling at The 2012 Humana Festival for New American Plays, directed by Mark Wing-Davey.

Discuss the play with the director and cast of AFTER. There will be a question and answer forum following each performance.

What to Prepare: Please prepare one fast song and one slow song (16 bars each), in the style/genre of Motown, but no songs from the show. The selections should show your vocal and acting skills as well as your ability to move to the music. Please bring your printed sheet music (in the key you plan to sing) and a current performance resume.

Prepared monologues are not necessary, but the audition may require a cold reading. Callbacks take place on Thursday, December 20 from 5-8pm and those who are called back should be prepared to perform a song from DREAMGIRLS.

DREAMGIRLS is a show about a time in American musical history when what is called rhythm and blues blended with other styles of popular music creating a new American sound. Act One is set in the fabulous sixties-a time when we were still screaming at Elvis and listening to the Beatles, but were dancing to the new beat of countless girl and boy groups like The Supremes, The Marvelettes, The Temptations and The Shirelles. Act Two shows the creation and the arrival of disco-though the word is never used in the script. The subject matter of this play deals with a musical contribution to America of such importance that only now-two decades later-are we beginning to understand.

Rehearsals begin in mid January. The show runs May 3rd – May 12th, 2013 in the York College Performing Arts Center, Auditorium.
