A note on casting: At The Studio we practice Non-Traditional Casting. Non-Traditional Casting is a method designed to increase artistic options by expanding casting opportunities for women, actors of color, seniors, and actors with disabilities in roles where race, gender, age or the presence or absence of a disability are not germane. To that end we encourage all actors to audition.

IN THE NEXT ROOM, OR THE VIBRATOR PLAY
BY SARAH RUHL

Directed by Celine Rosenthal
Intimacy Direction by Dan Granke
Rehearsals start: 9/6/22
Opening 9/30/22 – Closing 10/22/22
*Regional Premiere!*

Please note: all characters in this production take part in intimate situations that may involve the implied use of a vibrator as a medical device, kissing, physical touch, and the simulation of orgasms. In addition, a few characters are scripted in instances of implied or partial nudity (noted in character breakdown). The degree to which these are implemented will be agreed upon by the actor, director, and intimacy director; however, the script will not be changed in any way.

THE CHINESE LADY
BY LLOYD SUH

Directed by Reiko Ho
Rehearsals start: 10/25/22
Opening 11/18/22 – Closing 12/17/22
*Regional Premiere!*

Please note: Seeking actors with Chinese ancestry for both roles.

This audition process will be focused on identity conscious casting. The director recognizes that considerations of race and ethnicity are vital components to telling this story. It is the director’s hope that this production will be crafted in ways that honor individuals who identify as Asian, Mixed Asian or Asian American–especially those who identify as Chinese or Chinese American. The audition process may include discussions about race, ethnicity, or personal experiences.
