Description:
Haven is seeking actors for it's upcoming world premiere of The Art of Bowing by Nathan Alan Davis.
On the night the theatre finally dies three actors emerge from the nothingness to tell their version of the story of humanity. A mystical, metatheatrical and effervescent journey spanning multiple eras, places, and dimensions. Nominated for the L.

We invite you to join us throughout the year as we try new tactics and language that surround this story of humanity.
