Casting Call: Ages 11-21
Seeking Experienced Dramatic Actors/Actresses (Any Gender)

Theatre of Peace: Youth Anti-Bullying Acting Troupe, a division of Act Like You Matter, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, (“TOP”) runs custom-designed, solution-driven Assemblies and Workshops for schools in San Diego County. We perform vignettes that demonstrate tools students can use immediately to overcome and combat bullying and build resilience, no matter what role they play in the cycle of bullying.
The ideal candidate for our troupe is someone who wants to use their talent to make a difference in the lives of their peers. A stipend will be paid for performances, but please do not submit if your primary goal is being paid! TOP is comprised of actors who value the cause more than the paycheck.
