The Program in Theater is seeking a Black man or a Black actor comfortable playing male roles to play Actor 4, a leading role, in We are Proud to Present a Presentation about the Herero of Namibia, Formerly Known as South West Africa, from the German Südwestafrika, Between the Years 1884-1915, written by Jackie Sibblies Drury and directed by Daniel Krane ’18.

Undergrads, grad students, post-docs and staff able to play a character in his twenties are encouraged to contact dkrane@princeton.edu with any questions or to schedule alternative audition times.

We are Proud… tells the story of an idealistic group of college-aged actors who are trying to tell the story of a little known genocide that took place in what is now modern-day Namibia. They draw from historical research, improvisations, and their own lives for material. They soon find their attempts to bring the past to life awaken very-much-alive wounds of a shared and ugly American past.
