CHARACTER BREAKDOWNS/CASTING REQUIREMENTS
· We strongly encourage all races, ethnicities, gender identities, ages, sizes, and disabilities to audition for all productions. · Actor Tracks are subject to change and ensemble tracks are listed as possible actor tracks that give a general idea. Actor tracks finalized after auditions. · Ages are simply guidelines and are fluid. ·Swings will be hired for each production. Swings will be paid for all rehearsal and performance weeks. This is a change from previous years when rehearsals and when the swing had to go on were paid. Swings may or may not actually appear in every performance, but have a swing contingency plan when covering certain roles.
