a documentary film narrated by Sharon Stone


Here is the 4 minute promo for the film we are going to make.

This feature film documentary, narrated by Sharon Stone, will track the Young Players Ensemble for 19-weeks from casting through closing night.  The audition process begins in March 2005 at local theaters and youth programs around the world, choosing the most dynamic and outspoken young artists in each region who have a passion for sharing their worldviews. 
The Young Players Ensemble is an international mobile youth theater program that brings young people together to create and perform original theater.  A documentary film crew will follow the ensemble's groundbreaking project Worldplay, which will bring together 16 young people from ethnically, culturally and politically divided areas around the world, including Northern Ireland, Israel/Palestinian areas, Syria, Shanghai/Taiwan/Tibet, India/Pakistan, South Africa, Bosnia/Serbia/Croatia, Russia/Chechnya and the United States.  This multinational cast of young people ages 14-17 will gather to create an original play reflecting their beliefs in an attempt to highlight the similarities that exist despite their differences.  The cast will live together for eight weeks in Los Angeles and work as a team to develop the play to be performed at the world's largest theater festival in Edinburgh, Scotland.
