Falling Awake: The Musical – Auditions for Youth Performers
Fifteen-year-old Sage feels out of place, as if her coming-of-age is marked by a sense of imbalance. One day, she unexpectedly stumbles into a surreal realm – strange, beautiful, and full of secrets that hold the truth of her own heart. Joined by unexpected companions, what begins as a mystery soon becomes a journey of self-discovery.
Following the sold‑out success of last year’s flagship musical Likes and Lies, HKYAF proudly presents its latest original production, Falling Awake. Written and directed by Lindsey McAlister, with original music by Amuer Calderon, Falling Awake continues our legacy of creating musical works addressing social issues. The production takes the stage this November at The Box, Freespace.
We are now seeking talented singers, dancers, and actors aged 10 to 25 who are eager to be part of this innovative performance. While experience is preferred, enthusiasm and passion are a must!
