Casting Note
The chemistry of the group is key to the success of the play. It’s about who they are in relationship to each other.
While every role can be played by any race/ethnicity, please consider the implications of how casting can affect storytelling. E.g. If Darcie is played by a BIPOC actress, she should not be the only BIPOC actress in the cast.
