America is a mosaic of arrival stories, and to celebrate its 250th anniversary, we are bringing four of them to the stage. This musical cabaret follows four protagonists from diverse global backgrounds as they navigate the “obstacle race” of integration—confronting the systemic complexities and cultural contradictions of their new home. Through song and storytelling and with plenty of humor, wit, and sharp satire, we celebrate, dramatize and humorize these unique chronicles while reflecting the breadth of U.S. culture and its complex and ever-changing relationships to the world.

We are looking for actors/ performers with singing/ musical skills: who came to the US in the past 20 years

Immigrant 1 Mideastern background

Immigrant 2 African or Asian background

Immigrant 3 Hispanic background

Actors are asked to prepare a short comedic monologue (sketch, cabaret piece) about their immigrant experience. Please include some musical elements or prepare an additional song for the audition. For questions, please email Karin Rosnizeck at karinmariaros@gmail.com.

Please email your headshot and resume with a short description of your immigration story and your audition/ callback availability to expatstheatre@aol.com. We will send you audition time, location and further project details.
