Just got this not-too-late notice from director Ben:

Tonight is Peppermint Creek Theatre Company’s final night of auditions for their last show of the season, Eureka Day!

Auditions continue tonight, March 23 from 6–9pm at Sycamore Creek South on Pennsylvania (not Stage One). 
Director Ben Cassidy is seeking a diverse group of actors for the show, which runs May 8–17.
Two roles ask for Black or biracial actresses.

The Eureka Day School in Berkeley, California, is a bastion of progressive ideals: representation, acceptance, and social justice. In weekly meetings, Eureka Day’s five board members develop and update policy to preserve this culture of inclusivity, reaching decisions only by consensus. But when a mumps outbreak threatens the Eureka community, facts become subjective and every solution divisive—leaving the school’s leadership to confront the central question of our time: how do you build consensus when no one can agree on truth?

More details about the audition process, character descriptions, and audition sides can be found on the Peppermint Creek website here:
