Welcome to our table! We are very excited to officially announce this project.
Soup 'N Salad for the Soul is the outcome of the passion, love, and dedication of 5 Ebony Road Players’ Visionary Academy graduates and is being produced in partnership with Ebony Road Players.
The story takes place in a cafe where they have a meal voucher program for the homeless. It focuses on the stories of three individuals experiencing homelessness and their struggle to escape it. Cassie, a 15 year old girl. Mr. Bennett, an Older man. Jazzmine, a single mom. People aren't always what they appear on the outside, we all have stories and talents.
We are currently casting only for the following four roles

This character is q***r and masc presenting. In addition to his story as a character this role is also the Emcee of sorts. He must be flamboyant with an engaging earnestness to grab the audience's attention. He works at the restaurant to pay the bills and is working toward being a performer himself. However, his work also fills his heart as he has a genuine and unique relationship with all of the regular patrons. He also has his own story of homelessness after being kicked out as an older teen for coming out as gay.
