1- Male (u/s - Swing): We are looking for an actor who is willing to swing and understudy male-identifying roles in the production. We are strongly considering having one performance be an understudy/swing performance.

With our intended use of understudy/swing roles, we will consider conflicts that may not normally be accepted, so please come out and audition!
