Description:

Raven Theatre is excited to announce self tape auditions for our upcoming World Premiere production of Brother Sister Cyborg Space by Paul Michael Thomson, Directed by Terry Guest.

In the too-close-for-comfort future, an environmental justice organizer named Giselle and her billionaire baby brother Elon are (unsurprisingly) at odds. She believes the earth and her people are worth saving; he marvels at the potential in starting over somewhere new. Meanwhile, his virtual assistant Ava has some very nuanced opinions of her own. (Who programmed her to talk so much?!) Set against the backdrop of a rapidly-accelerating climate crisis, brother sister cyborg space explores political divisions within families, an expanding definition of humanity and what we'll do when time runs out.

Characters:
All roles will be understudied.

Please note, ELON and GISELLE must look like they are in their 30s.

GISELLE, mid to late 30s, a biracial Black woman (Black and White), community organizer for environmental justice, has convinced herself she's not afraid of death, believes in people.

Note: It is important to the story and central relationship in this play that Giselle has the lived experience of being biracial (Black and White). We would like you, before you submit for this role, to ask yourself first: do you feel comfortable telling this story?

ELON, early to mid 30s, Giselle's little brother, a white man, a spiritual billionaire, has not made peace with death, believes in purpose.

AVA, ageless, a virtual assistant, the voice of a woman of color, understands death, believes in progress.
