Anon(ymous) Auditions

About the Open Call

GovState Theatre and Performance Studies presents 'Anon(ymous)' by Naomi Iizuka. This entrancing adaptation of Homer's The Odyssey tells the story of Anon, a young refugee separated from his mother, as he journeys through the United States encountering a wide variety of people—some kind, some dangerous and cruel—as he searches for his family. From a sinister one-eyed butcher to beguiling barflies to a sweatshop, Anon must navigate through a chaotic, ever-changing landscape.
