Performers of diverse ethnicities are invited to open auditions for Port Arthur Little Theater’s upcoming production of Soul Samurai by Qui Nguyen at 7 p.m. Feb. 18-20 at Port Arthur Little Theatre.

After avenging the death of her lover, a young samurai girl named Dewdrop, along with her faithful sidekick Cert, must now battle through vampire-infested Brooklyn to make it back home.

Please note this production contains adult language and artistic violence and the theater asks that only those age 18 and older audition.

Any interested parties nearing the age of 18 will only be considered if a parent or legal guardian contacts the director in advance.

This show has fight scenes, video projections, pre-recorded short films, a puppet show, and even an 18-wheeler chase combining the styles of the 1970s, Japan, gangsters and graphic novels.
