This play is in part about the experience of living across and between identities. As such, the playwright is open to many iterations of casting in regards to actors’ identities. We anticipate small rewrites that take into account each actors’ lived experience and unique identity. We encourage anyone who identifies with a multiethnic experience to audition for TORO and ANDREA.
