All actors should be have strong Shakespearean language skills but also the ability to make these characters very real people. One role (probably Phoebe or Amiens) will be cast with a NON-UNION actor but we will see both Equity and Non-Equity actors for these roles. ROSALIND (Sarah Dandridge) and ADAM (Joneal Joplin) have been cast.
