Synopsis
In the Heights centers on a variety of characters living in the neighborhood of Washington Heights, on the northern tip of Manhattan. At the center of the show is Usnavi, a bodega owner who looks after the aging Cuban lady next door, pines for the gorgeous girl working in the neighboring beauty salon and dreams of winning the lottery and escaping to the shores of his native Dominican Republic. Meanwhile, Nina, a childhood friend of Usnavi's, has returned to the neighborhood from her first year at college with surprising news for her parents, who have spent their life savings on building a better life for their daughter. Ultimately, Usnavi and the residents of the close-knit neighborhood get a dose of what it means to be home.
Directors Casting Notes: We will be casting our Hispanic community members. Hispanic is an ethnicity, not a race, people are Hispanic Native, Hispanic Black, Hispanic White, Hispanic Asian, Hispanic Mixed, and so on. The story takes place by, about, and for our communities of color who don't fit the mold of American idealism, thus facing an uphill battle from the moment they are born.
In need of Back Stage Manager, Production Secretary, Sound, and Builders who are either Hispanic, speak a little to full Spanish, or are culturally competent.
