Diversity Auditions

This show features brave performers fearlessly sharing their personal and intimate instances experiences of discrimination, homophobia and racism. A highlight of the show is the singing of one the performers. I enjoyed the humor mixed with the realistic portrait of the "contestants".... full review

This show is amazing! We were deeply moved by the actors vulnerable and sensitive presentation of their lives. The show is a wonderful examination of the struggles of being human. I would recommend everyone check out the show. The actors were brave, strong and very funny in revealing the struggles that they have beautifully and bravely overcome. Bravo! Very talented cast! We enjoyed it immensely! ... full review

A cast of performers 'audition' their first hand life experiences as LGBT actors/comics/singers of color in the hopes of being discovered for their big break.
