Equity’s contracts prohibit discrimination.

James and the Giant Peach is a story that investigates and celebrates the nature of family and its many forms. By igniting the audience’s imaginations, we will create a world that is playful, magical, dangerous, joyous and full of wondrous possibility. The rehearsal process will be guided by ensemble collaboration, a sense of play, and a desire to create a space in which shared experience can lead us to a feeling of community.
A Note About Casting, Kavin Moore CSA
Our goal is to create a warm and welcoming casting process. We strive to lead with respect, kindness, and generosity. We recognize the oppressive practices of theatre-making and we are working to decolonize these destructive forces that have been barriers to the historically marginalized. In regard to the character descriptions provided, they serve as portrayals of the characters found in the script, developed in collaboration with the creative team. They are not intended to be all-encompassing in determining the performers for these roles, as our aim is to cast inclusively and purposefully. We acknowledge that the majority of characters in the script are traditionally presented as either male or female (using he/him or she/her pronouns). However, we warmly welcome submissions from individuals who identify as gender non-conforming, genderqueer, transgender, or non-binary for the roles that resonate most with their identity. We will include the race/ethnicity of a role when it is explicitly relevant to the character. Please let us know if you have any questions, concerns, or if there are any accommodations we can provide.
*All roles require an RP Accent
*All roles are open to all gender expressions and identities
