BREAKDOWN
In reference to the character breakdown(s): most characters we encounter currently are on the binary and written with he/him or she/her pronouns, and that is reflected in their descriptions. Despite that linguistic limitation, however, ACT casting strives to be as inclusive as possible and we invite gender non-conforming, gender-queer, transgender, and non-binary actors to submit for the roles they most identify with. Race/ethnicity is indicated only when specified by the playwright as integral to character and/or narrative. Otherwise ACT seeks actors of all races and ethnicities, neuro-diversities, and disabilities, for available roles.
Note: ACT will not be seeking understudies for any projects this season other than for A CHRISTMAS CAROL.
