The new TCT season is being launched with DNA by Dennis Kelly, the story about a group of teenagers who hang out together. The play begins after a catastrophe where the group’s antics spiraled out of control and, for one poor guy, things ended very badly. The author provides us with the incident, the panic, and the aftermath, as the gang puts their hierarchical system to one side in order to formulate an elaborate cover-up. It is an edgy, fast-paced, thought provoking play about the disasters associated with bullying in high school, a timely and poignant tale.

Some of these characters are not gender specific, so roles may be shifted depending on auditions.

Mark and Jan act as narrators

Leah has many long one-sided monologues

Phil is on-stage in many scenes but rarely speaks

John Tate only appears in one scene

Cathy finds every situation exciting and has no remorse

Richard is strong and a natural leader

Brian is the weakest link

Danny is the sensible one

Lou is a total follower

Adam is always a victim

The director, Kendric Bertram, will be casting a total of eight males and females, ages 15-20. Auditions for DNA will be held Friday, July 10 at 6:30 p.m. and Saturday, July 11 at 10 a.m. with call backs Sunday, July 12 at 2 p.m.

All auditions will be held at TCT Second Space, 431 J Street, Tehachapi CA.
