A note about casting (adopted from language with consent originally created by Kevin Kantor and
Emily Traquin of Actors Theatre of Louisville):
Most characters we encounter currently are on the binary and are written with he/him or she/her
pronouns and you will see that in the following character descriptions. However limiting the
descriptions are, our casting seeks to be inclusive as possible and we invite gender non-conforming,
genderqueer, transgender, and non-binary actors to submit for the roles they most identify with. We
will also list race/ethnicity when specific to the character but are otherwise seeking all races and
ethnicities. Please let us know if you have any questions, concerns, or if there are any
accommodations we can provide.
