PerSIStence Theatre Company and Capacity Theatre are seeking a Lighting and Sound Designer for our upcoming production of Iphis Is A Man in November, written and directed by Cheney Emberg.

Interested artists can submit their resumes and a brief expression of interest to info@persistencetheatre.com by October 13th at 9am NDT.

ABOUT THE SHOW:

Iphis is a Man is a coming-of-age story about your average fifteen-year-old boy learning what it means to be a man in an ancient Greece that looks and acts a lot like our modern-day world. Only difference? Iphis was born with a vagina. As he tries to understand who he is, he must answer to the crush he’s suddenly betrothed to, his pseudo-psychic mom, his nut-farming dad, and a (mostly unhelpful) goddess in drag. Iphis is a Man is a modern retelling of Ovid’s ancient myth of Iphis and Ianthe, a TYA show meant for anyone 14+.

CONTENT WARNINGS:

Language, innuendo, some intimacy between Iphis and Ianthe (kissing, touching) and some obscene gestures.  

ABOUT THE PRODUCTION:

Iphis is a Man is written and directed by Cheney Emberg, and produced by PerSIStence Theatre Company and Capacity Theatre. Rehearsals will take place in St. John's, NL from late October through November of 2026, with performances from November 26th to November 28th.
