Equity is committed to diversity and encourages all its employers to engage in a policy of equal employment opportunity designed to promote a positive model of inclusion. As such, Equity encourages performers of all ethnicities, gender identities, and ages, as well as performers with disabilities, to apply. SPECIAL NOTES: ON IDENTITY: The Latine diaspora runs far and wide. That said, though the ethnicities of these characters are listed and are important to the storytelling, directors encourage Latine actors to audition for the roles they feel most comfortable with playing. Directors will be addressing the specifics in the room about how these identities will be brought to life. Con cariño. ON DIALECTS: ESTELLA is the only one who might have a touch in her English. MARIANA, CAROLINA, and JUAN in their specific Spanish dialects. They are all excellent code-switchers. Directors will not be asking for accents for auditions. ON MOVEMENT: Regarding style, the playwright notes, everyone should always be a moment away from dancing. That said, directors will be playing with Latin dance styles in transitions between scenes. Familiarity with those dances and comfortability with dancing is helpful! There will be a dance consultant provided in rehearsal. When applying, please include your headshot and resume.
