Some actors will play two or more roles. Stage combat experience – swords, knifes, and unarmed – required for some roles. Ability to play a musical instrument and singing ability helpful for some roles. Please note that the witches will be more prominent than usual in this production and on stage almost the entire show. Witches will need to sing and dance. Please also note that the witches will be nude -- or near nude -- through some of the play, and will be covered partially or wholly in body paint. To ensure a stunning and fluid production, casting consideration/priority will be given to actors who volunteer to be part of a work crew (light hanging, set-building, costume building, event planning, etc.) at the time of their initial audition.
