Audition Preparation: All roles are open for this terrific show. Looking for a very diverse cast. Actors will be seen in order of arrival.

Age ranges listed are stage ages. If you have any questions, please email us at info@connecticuttheatrecompany.org.

Diversity, Equity and Inclusion:
Connecticut Theatre Company strives to be an inclusive and anti-racist organization. We welcome and encourage performers and team members of all colors, genders/gender non-conformity, body types and abilities to join us. We do not pre-cast our shows, and we strive to cast our shows from the individuals who come to the audition. As such, we strive to be as flexible and conscious with our casting as possible. In the spirit of preserving opportunities for actors who have traditionally been underserved by the entertainment community and allowing them to tell their own stories, we will never cast a white/Caucasian actor in a role specifically written for a BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) actor, nor a cisgender actor in a role specifically written for a transgender or non-binary/gender non-conforming actor. For any role written for a character with a specific disability or neurodivergence, we will prioritize, to the best of our abilities, actors who are living that experience.

Accessibility
If you will require any specific accommodations for this audition, rehearsals or performances, please reach out to one of the following individuals for assistance. We are eager to help you be able to get to us and to show us your best work!

For hearing, vision, physical disability, or neurodivergence assistance as well as any other questions/concerns:
