CASTING PHILOSOPHY

TRMT is intensely and intentionally committed to the IDEAA principles — Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, Access, and Anti-Racism.

GENDER IDENTITY
Most characters encountered in theatrical works are on the binary and are written with he/him or she/her pronouns, and you may see that in the character descriptions for our full musical productions. Limiting as the descriptions may be, our casting seeks to be inclusive as possible. We invite gender non-conforming, genderqueer, transgender, and non-binary artists to submit for the roles with which they most identify.

RACE/ETHNICITY
We will list race/ethnicity when specific and necessary to the character. When race/ethnicity is non-specific, we are committed to welcoming and considering all races and ethnicities in our casting. We are painfully aware that most theatrical productions of the last 100+ years have been whitewashed, and artists of color often disengaged or excluded unless necessary to the story. TRMT seeks to correct that narrative in our community. Artists of color will be considered for ALL roles, unless race/ethnicity is specific and necessary to the character/plot.

BODY TYPE
Artists of all body types are encouraged to audition. Unless a role demands a specific body type (ex: Tracy in HAIRSPRAY), all body types will be considered for all roles. GONE ARE THE DAYS of antiquated and archaic (unachievable/unsustainable) beauty standards pressuring creators to produce bland, homogenous, uninspired, unrelatable, sterile, cookie cutter stories. Every body is a theatre body. Everybody is the lead role in their own story. All body types have occupied spaces power, achievement, and romance since time began. It’s time for our stories to reflect that. Period.

ACCESSIBILITY
Three Rivers Music Theatre is committed to considering and welcoming disabled and neurodivergent artists. As such, TRMT is committed to occupying accessible ADA compliant spaces whenever possible. Human experiences curated in theatrical works are universal— that’s what makes theatre and stories accessible and broadly appealing. It’s time that our stories reflected all points of view and perspectives.

Please let us know if you have any questions, concerns, or if there are any accommodations we can provide.
