Auditions
|
Thank you for your interest in our 2019-2020 season auditions.
For this season we will be not be holding season auditions as we have in the past. Auditions for the mainstage season will happen about a month or a month and half prior to each shows rehearsal starting. We hope to have a schedule posted in the coming weeks. |
A Note on Casting Notices:
In reference to the character descriptions - most characters we encounter currently are on the binary and are written with the he/him or she/her pronouns and you will see that are in the following descriptions. But, however limiting the descriptions are, our casting seeks to be as inclusive as possible and we invite gender non-conforming, genderqueer, transgender, non-binary actors to submit for the roles they most identify with. We will also list race/ethnicity when specific to the character but are otherwise seeking all races and ethnicities. As an ADA compliant theatre, we welcome performers of all abilities and will make all reasonable accommodations in order to cast performers, regardless of disability, in any role possible. Please let us know if you have any questions, concerns, or if there are any accommodations we can provide.
