A Note About Casting
Dayton is an incredibly diverse community with artists from all walks of life. In casting this season, we would love the makeup of persons in our show to reflect that diversity and, in turn, show audiences a more honest, beautiful representation of this city we call home. In that spirit, BIPOC actors, actors with disabilities, trans/gender non-conforming actors are all encouraged to audition for whatever roles speak most accurately to their truth. Ignore your preconceived notions of “type.” Think of yourself as originating the role(s) you are auditioning for. We want to see you shine through the language of the character. We want to feel your most authentic self in the margins of every page.
