Auditions for new Seattle School opera

Just saw this on Craigslist:

"CALLING ALL SINGERS, MUSICIANS, ACTORS and PERFORMERS!

SEATTLE SCHOOL is holding a casting call for singers, musicians, actors and performers for The Anarchist Songbook, a contemporary opera around the WTO demonstrations in Seattle. An initial reading has been set for the end of March in partnership with ACT Theater. The Anarchist Songbook takes us back to November 1999 as we follow a makeshift gang of WTO protesters, teenage runaways and hardened street punks who take over an abandoned former candy factory in the Denny Triangle. Through The Anarchist Songbook we experience their travails through a uniquely Seattle perspective, visited by the ghosts of local uprisings in the past, revealing almost a 'culture of protest' in the Northwest."
