This production will not be conventional in its approach to storytelling. All actors in the play except the actor playing Che will portray prisoners who are telling the story of Peron's rise to power with his incomparable wife. While there will be one primary actor assigned to the roles of Eva and Juan, respectively, the rehearsal process may highlight moments where other members of the company can step in to assist with the depiction of those characters--this may be done with any combination of singing, acting, or dancing. As long as the movement and vocal demands of the piece are met, there are no age, race, or size requirements for any role; all that is required is talent and a willingness to risk, experiment, and work collaboratively to create a vibrant theatrical piece of storytelling. This should result in an extraordinary opportunity for those who are part of the ensemble as well as the "leads."
