Actors Ensemble of Berkeley announces auditions for a special staged reading of ROE, by Lisa Loomer.
Roe v. Wade, the landmark 1973 case that legalized abortion, is still
fiercely debated over forty years later. In this incisive play, acclaimed writer Lisa Loomer cuts through the headlines and rhetoric to reveal the divergent personal journeys of lawyer Sarah Weddington
and plaintiff Norma McCorvey (“Jane Roe”) in the years following the fateful decision. In turns shocking, humorous, and poignant, ROE reflects the polarization in America today while illuminating the heart and passion each side has for its cause.

St., Berkeley, CA 94703, from 5 to 7 pm, though, if necessary, we can accomodate someone a bit before or a bit after that time. The audition space is a short walk from the Ashby BART station. We anticipate one Zoom-based read-thru and two in-person rehearsals, one the week of May 30th and one in the
week leading up to the first performance – we will finalize rehearsal
times as part of the casting process. Various parts are available, but we are especially looking for actors capable of playing roles ages 20-40. All genders, gender-expressions, ages, ethnicities, and colors are welcome to audition. Actors Ensemble regularly casts
cross-gender and cross-type. All actors cast will receive a small
stipend.
