Take a lesson in auditioning. Join a live audition of sharing lived experiences. This is what it takes to be RAW with Dana ONeal.
Raw Naked Souls
How do you allow theater to show your Raw Naked Soul?
Join us for an intimate segment of live storytelling, theater, and lived experiences featuring Dana O'Neal, a participant in Breaking Even: Cohort One. This production is second on the list. On this stage, you are all the casting directors.
Raw Naked Souls is not a class on how to audition. It is a performance that exposes the work of finding the soul of the piece before the memorizing, before the audition, and before the audience ever sees the finished work. Through each monologue, Dana reveals the emotional preparation, personal truth, and courage that lives beneath the words.
Whether you are a theater lover, aspiring actor, storyteller, poet, or someone who simply appreciates powerful live performances, Raw Naked Souls offers a meaningful connection between professionals and the stage.
Live & Virtual
This event will be live streamed to invite casting directors and prospective students to view this performance as an audition. Join virtually or live and see this amazing actor show what he can bring to a production.
You are all invited to see what it takes to be Raw on Stage.

Raw Naked Soul
Raw Naked Soul is a lived audition. Meaning experiences between monologues are shared between character and actor. A place in which Dana believes acting derives from. Watch what happens when an actor explores literature to find themselves further. A reflection of one's self written from the eyes of others. A selection of monologue that reveals ones Raw Naked Soul. To live in truth is to be able to live to the fullest. Dana invites you all to see how to prepare for being yourself in life through an audition.
