Eligibility:
GovState Theatre and Performance Studies presents... The Exonerated by Jessica Blank and Erik Jensen
Directed by Patrick Santoro
Performance dates: April 4 - 7 at Governors State University's Sherman Hall
ABOUT THE PLAY:
The Exonerated combines first-person narrative with letters, transcripts, case files, and legal records to tell the stories of six wrongfully convicted survivors of death row: Delbert Tibbs, Kerry Max Cook, Gary Gauger, David Keaton, Robert Earl Hayes and Sunny Jacobs, and their paths to freedom.
Moving between first-person monologues and scenes set in courtrooms and prisons, the six interwoven stories paint a picture of an American criminal justice system gone horribly wrong—and of six brave souls who persevered to survive it.

ABOUT THE PRODUCTION:
This is a live production in front of an audience. Rehearsals will be held on campus with most rehearsals occurring in Sherman Hall.
CASTING:
Casting 10 versatile, high-energy performers/storytellers passionate about creating social change through art:
DELBERT: African American, 60. A seminary dropout, radical, and poet. His whole personality is like an old soul song: smooth, mellow and with an underlying rhythm that never lets go.
SUNNY: White, 50. A bright, pixie-ish yoga teacher from California; her lightness and positivity contrast with moments of great depth and clarity.
ROBERT: African American, 30s. A former horse groomer from the deep South; hardened but not lacking a sense of humor. Deep rural Mississippi accent.
GEORGIA/FEMALE ENSEMBLE 1: African American, 30s. Robert’s wife, also Southern; opinionated, outspoken, and extremely warm. She and Robert have a lovingly contentious relationship. Loves to speak her mind.
First round of auditions will be held in-person in Sherman Hall at Governors State University on Monday, February 12th and Tuesday, February 13th. Callbacks will be held on Thursday, February 15th in Sherman Hall.
