Casting Note, Kavin Moore, CSA
Beehive pays homage to the remarkable women who made an indelible impact on the 1960s music scene. This production aims to captivate and enlighten its audience. We are in search of performers who possess a profound affection for the musical era of the 1960s and who can faithfully embody the distinct styles of the diverse artists highlighted in the production. We are actively seeking singers who move well.
Our goal is to create a warm and welcoming casting process. We strive to lead with respect, kindness, and generosity. We recognize the oppressive practices of theatre-making and we are working to decolonize these destructive forces that have been barriers to the historically marginalized. In regard to the character descriptions provided, they serve as portrayals of the characters found in the script, developed in collaboration with the creative team. They are not intended to be all-encompassing in determining the performers for these roles, as our aim is to cast inclusively and purposefully. We acknowledge that the majority of characters in the script are traditionally presented as either male or female (using he/him or she/her pronouns). However, we warmly welcome submissions from individuals who identify as gender non-conforming, genderqueer, transgender, or non-binary for the roles that resonate most with their identity. We will include the race/ethnicity of a role when it is explicitly relevant to the character. We also welcome performers with disabilities to submit. Please let us know if you have any questions, concerns, or if there are any accommodations we can provide.
While we are currently not able to provide transposed versions of the audition music, we have found a google plug-in called Transpose on Chrome browsers that will transpose songs simply and without having to purchase anything (https://transpose.video/). If the songs provided don’t showcase you at your best, you can submit another song in the world of the show.
