An Scéal: Samhain x Dia De Muertos

Produced and Curated by Daye Thomas

An evening of music, storytelling, and theatre blending Samhain and Día de Muertos traditions.

Following a sold-out debut, An Scéal (‘The Story’ in Irish) returns with its second annual program, this year centered on Samhain and Día de Muertos. Samhain, the ancient Celtic festival marking the end of the harvest and the thinning of the veil between the living and the dead, meets Día de Muertos, the Mexican tradition of honoring ancestors through ofrendas (offerings), celebration, and remembrance, rooted in a shared impulse to gather and remember those who came before us. 

Available Roles

Seeking 3 performers of any ethnicity, nationality, gender, age, body type, and disability status to work with the directors to devise and perform short pieces. Devising experience is helpful but not required. 

We are also curating additional pre-made short works (up to 10 minutes) connected to the theme of Samhain / Día de Muertos to perform as part of this variety-show-esque program, be it music, storytelling, a pre-made short theatre piece.

Rehearsals will begin mid-September.

Performances will run for at least 2 weekends in October–venues and exact dates TBD.

We unfortunately cannot accommodate AEA contracts for An Scéal. 

Performers will be paid $20/hr at 20 hours per week in rehearsal and performances.

The Perfect Immigrant

By Samuel Yakura

Directed by Bobby Bermea

Rehearsals will begin in early February, at 20 hours per week, with a flexible schedule depending on actor availability.

Performances will run March 6-21, 2027 at Artists’ Repertory Theatre.

A solo performance exploring migration, family, and the distance between home and self.

In The Perfect Immigrant, Levi, a young Nigerian man pursuing a master’s degree in Dublin, builds a life for himself while navigating the expectations placed on him by his family, his new community, and himself. The play captures the everyday realities of migration and assimilation, from learning local customs, experiencing racism overseas, and striving to hold onto the tastes and traditions of home. Levi carries both literal and emotional baggage as we see the growing distance between him and his family back home.

Premiering on the West Coast, this one-man performance unfolds through direct address, memory, and shifting perspectives, weaving together prose, poetry, music, and movement to draw the audience into Levi’s inner world. The production will feature a live West African musician, whose presence underscores the rhythms of home, distance, and transformation, continuing Corrib’s signature integration of live music into theatrical storytelling.

Available Role:

Levi: 

A young Nigerian student in Ireland, Levi, navigates the complications of holding onto his roots and embracing the opportunities and challenges of a brave new world. 

Looking for a Black masculine-presenting actor, appearing age 18-28. Facility with Nigerian or African diaspora dialects preferable but not necessary for the audition. Actor selected will be expected to learn the dialect with the assistance of a dialect coach if they do not already know it.
