"Waiting to See Themselves Represented"
Episode description
How do we make auditions more inclusive? What steps can casting directors, directors, choreographers, music directors, and producers (all of those at behind table) take to provide an environment that supports all people.
Casting breakdowns:
- Utilize “person first” language in casting breakdowns
- Incorporating gender neutrality in casting breakdowns
Open calls and callbacks:
- Make sides and songs accessible for all
- Large print font
- Audio recordings of sides
In this episode of Breaking the Fourth Wall, Tim and Ashlee Espinosa discuss how we can begin to advocate for a more inclusive and supportive environment at auditions with highlights of Broadway and regional theatre news from the week and a puzzler question for all of you musical theatre lovers out there.
