AMERICAN LOVE
Written by Bethany Dickens - Directed by Jessica Swanson
SUMMARY: Danny, a high school student in 1984, is struggling to find the perfect words to ask his crush, Lisa to prom. His cynical best friend Tara is skeptical that English-speaking people even have enough words to talk about ‘love,’ with all of its many forms and functions. To illustrate her point, Tara takes the audience on a decades-long journey through time and language.

COMPENSATION: All NextStage actors of any age are always paid. Actors will have two avenues of compensation for this production.
1. Base pay from ticket sales: Our actors split a majority share of ticket sales.
2. Our Actor Tip Jar: We set up a virtual tip jar through PayPal that can be accessed before, during, and after our production. There is no minimum or maximum that actors can be paid in this fashion. This is an account we have set up so anyone can donate and the proceeds are divided evenly at the end of the production. We've had great success with this system from our past productions.
