HIGHLAND LAKE, NY — NACL Theatre is currently developing a touring version of The Weather Project play and seeks additional performers of all ages for a regional tour that begins in May 2015. Rehearsals take place Monday evenings from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Highland Senior Center, located at 725 State Rte. 55 in Eldred.

The Weather Project is an all-ages outdoor performance about climate change directed by Tannis Kowalchuk of NACL Theatre. The play was developed with NASA scientist Elaine Matthews, in collaboration with the Town of Highland and a host of community groups.

The play premiered in August 2013 in Yulan, and an all-ages ensemble (age 13 and up) meets weekly to develop the compact touring version of The Weather Project. The company’s first engagement will take place on May 20 at the Kumble Theatre for the Performing Arts in Brooklyn. Other presentations set to take place include the June 13 at the Trout Parade in Livingston Manor.

New participants interested in singing, dancing, acting, writing, and stilt-walking are asked to contact Kowalchuk at tannis@nacl.org or call 845/557-0694. Only those who are focused and work well with a group should apply, otherwise no prior stage experience is required.
