Montgomery Playhouse is committed to equity, diversity and inclusion. As such, all performers are encouraged to audition, but especially actors with identities historically excluded from the performing arts (BIPOC, trans/GNC, disabled, fat/plus-size, etc). Due to the subject matter of the show and current political culture we are hoping to intentionally center and highlight queer and trans performers in this piece.
This is a non-paid opportunity.
Come audition for The Laramie Project! We are casting for 8 actors representing approximately 80 characters. The script contains references to religion, homophobia (including the use of homophobic slurs), violence against queer people, murder, the legal system, incarceration, the death penalty, policing, HIV diagnosis and stigma, and the healthcare system.
