OTHER
In reference to the character descriptions below – most characters we encounter currently are on the
binary and are written with she/her and he/him pronouns and you will see that in the following
descriptions. But however limiting the descriptions are, our casting seeks to be as inclusive as possible
and we invite gender nonconforming, genderqueer, transgender and nonbinary actors to submit for the
roles they most identify with. We have also listed race/ethnicity when specific to the character but are
otherwise seeking all races and ethnicities. In addition, we will list disability when specific to a character,
but are otherwise seeking actors with disabilities as well as nondisabled actors for all roles. – Language
