CASTING POLICY:
As members of the creative performing arts community, we all have a role in creating stories that reflect the diversity of the world in which we live. To that end, and in an effort to deliver more diversity on and off-stage, Music Theater Works will, wherever possible, include and engage with diverse thinking and actions in all aspects of the casting process. This includes but is not limited to gender, ethnicity, ability, age, body type and sexual orientation. We welcome all and are actively working toward equity and diversity. We hope to provide the best and most supportive practices as we build a community that seeks to humanize and provide access for ALL.
