CASTING CALL: Dance, Dance, Dance by Haruki Murakami

Set in Hokkaido, Tokyo, and Hawaiʻi, Dance, Dance, Dance opens doors to “other” places. Represented by the warped, non-linear space-time of the Dolphin Hotel in Sapporo and an old multi-storied building in Downtown Honolulu, these “other” spaces contain the potential for personal healing by offering characters and audiences alike a chance to restore, rebuild, and rediscover a sense of self. Sign up for an audition slot (sign-up form includes synopsis & character descriptions). For more information, please contact mivanova@hawaii.edu.
