ABOUT AUDITIONS:
Auditions will consist of cold readings from the script. Auditions are open to all races, ethnicities, and genders. Race has nothing to do with the show's story and characters, so we would love to have a diverse cast that accurately represents the community we serve.
The script is available for perusal in the Box Office.
