GREEN DAY’S AMERICAN IDIOT
American Idiot will be a multilingual production integrating American Sign Language, English, and a rich visual language. The process will include a mixed creative team and an inclusive space of Deaf/hearing. This production will channel the raw energy and rebellious spirit of Green Day’s American Idiot, while introducing the unique and inclusive artistry of Deaf performers and sign language. At the heart of our approach is a layered exploration of staging that invites audiences to contemplate the intricate dynamics between performers and their characters. Through thoughtful portrayals, we aim to challenge stereotypes and illuminate the lived experiences of Deaf individuals—a community often overlooked and misunderstood. This narrative of self-discovery and empowerment aligns seamlessly with the core themes of American Idiot, emphasizing the universal search for identity and authenticity in a world dominated by conformity. Our production will draw upon current social and political tensions to reflect contemporary issues of authority and dissent.
Travel and accommodations will be provided for Actors outside of the local region.
The cast will be a mix of Deaf and hearing actors in the roles. All roles will have a combination of ASL and/or sung and spoken English.
Some hearing actors will be asked to learn and perform ASL for their roles as well. Cast configurations will be determined at a later date.
SYNOPSIS: Three young suburban friends try to make their way in post-9/11 America. Johnny finds a girl and a lot of drugs in the big city. Tunny goes off to war. Will struggles to support a wife and child. We watch as they navigate their complex relationships and their angst and understanding of where they fit in this society.
[ENSEMBLE] 20s (Deaf and Hearing actors): Various vocal ranges, strong rock singers who can hold their own harmonies and sing featured solos. Looking for actor/singers who move well.
