Current vacancies
ACTOR - 2025 Season
Seeking Equity and non-Equity actors for TOROS by Danny Tejera, directed by Lily Wolff.
We are inviting video submissions for the following roles:
JUAN OLMAN CASTAÑO, M, 26
ALEX “TORO” TOTAH, M, 26
ANDREA MIRÓ, F, 26
A note from the Playwright on Casting and Ethnicity:
These characters are written with some flexibility in mind. They are meant for actors who might not fit neatly into one box or another, who might be “ethnically ambiguous” or might “have an accent.” Depending on who is cast, we can work together to change certain lines accordingly. In a recent draft, Alex Toro was Colombian. Andrea’s last name is currently Miró, but it might be Zhao, or Malik, or several other things. The play should be cast in a way that authentically approximates the diverse international community these characters belong to.
