ABOUT

Casa Mañana’s Apprentice Program is for the most dedicated young performers ages 14-19 in the DFW area who aspire to careers in the theatre. The young actors who audition and are accepted have the unique opportunity to advance their professional training by performing in a musical backed by the full resources of Casa Mañana. Thanks to generous donors who underwrite the program, there is no participation fee.

2023 PRODUCTION

In-Person auditions for A Man Of No Importance are March 18, 2023.

This tender story of family, friendship and acceptance teaches us that it really is a wonderful thing to “love who you love.”  Alfie Byrne is a bus driver in 1964 Dublin whose heart holds secrets he can’t share with anyone but his imagined confidante, Oscar Wilde.  When he attempts to put on an amateur production of Wilde’s Salome in the local church hall, he confronts the forces of bigotry and shame over a love “that dare not speak its name.”  But the redemptive power of theatre changes his life and brings his friends back to his side.  This show is suitable for mature audiences.
