Casting

We don’t believe in auditions.

We believe that auditions set the wrong working relationship and deeply disempower actors by limiting the opportunities for the performers.

The whole premise behind our ensemble is the enablement of our performers. We would rather cast a performer who is passionate about a role than one who fits some sort of "Right" mold.

Theatre from the Ground will always attempt to cast inclusively; just because someone has discouraged you from a role in the past does not mean you cannot, or should not, do it.

The way we work it is much easier. We have a list of everyone who has worked with us or said that they’d like to. Every time we produce a show, we will publish a Character and Scene Breakdown and a sign up sheet.

Before you sign up for a role, we ask that you seriously consider:
