Assistant Stage Manager #2 (NON-AEA) – Teen Dad
Passage Theatre Company | Trenton, NJ
Passage Theatre Company is seeking a Non-Equity Assistant Stage Manager #2 (ASM) for its upcoming production of Teen Dad by Adrienne Dawes
About the Play
Abby, a precocious emo-goth teenager, orchestrates a surprise reunion for her mother Tanya and birth father Tom, with the help of her mom’s fiancé/healer John. Hoping to provoke long-lasting reconciliation between her parents before her high school graduation, Abby’s plans completely derail when Tom arrives with his new girlfriend Alisha. Can this family confront their past traumas, “deal and heal?” Teen Dad subverts the popular regional theatre “kitchen-sink beach house dramedy” to share a heartfelt, comedic exploration of generational trauma and recovery in a mixed-race Black and Latinx family.
