This community-focused production is open to ages 8 and up. All Principle roles will be filled by adults. Adults and youth will fill all other roles and the ensemble. Some roles may be cast gender reversed. There are characters specific to the 2SLGBTQAI+ community. The ensemble can be small to large, with roles that can be doubled or tripled.
