AUDITIONS ARE OPEN! For Select Roles in Ballad of the Unfallen by Maggie Lee!
We are currently casting for the role of "Piri" in Seattle Public Theater's upcoming production of The Ballad of the Unfallen, written by Maggie Lee, with original music composition by Leanna Keith, and directed by Amy Poisson.
The Ballad of the Unfallen, a new play with music and movement, is about loyalty, connection, and courage in the face of overwhelming odds, asking the question, “Can anyone ever truly choose not to take a side?”
About the Role
PIRI (female, 20s–30s), a new bard seeking to make a name for herself. Earnest and well-meaning, struggling to stay impartial in observing the events of the play for her latest ballad, defiant and hopeful in the face of overwhelming tragedy. Sings a ca****la and plays a handheld drum for accompaniment.
Piri’s role is vocally challenging and requires a singer with confidence in solo a ca****la performance. While vocal training of any kind is helpful, we are particularly interested in vocalists with any of the following backgrounds: metal, throat singing, contemporary extended techniques, pansori, minyo, or other folk vocal traditions.
