Who they’re looking for

Union information: Non-Equity. Check the theatre’s instructions for who may audition.

Colin Craven

Playing age: Around 10 years old

Voice: Treble/Boy Soprano

Identifies as male. Archibald’s sheltered and sickly young son, convinced he will never be well, whose friendship with Mary awakens his confidence, curiosity, and joy. Will play Saturday Matinees and cover for Fri/Sat Eve and Sun Matinees.

Fakir

Voice: Tenor

Playing age, Equity, understudy… what do these mean?

Contract: Non-Equity
