A Note on Staged Violence: Orpheus is “attacked” by the worker chorus in Act 2. All staged violence will be choreographed within actors’ boundaries and skill level. If actors prefer not to be considered for characters because of this staged violence please indicate this in the space on the audition form, and/or discuss with the director at auditions.
Intimacy: Orpheus and Eurydice share some intimate dance choreography and a kiss in the first act. All choreography will be blocked with actor consent and safety. Please discuss with the director if you are unwilling to represent intimacy for these roles.
No Experience needed. All are invited to audition. There are no precast roles.
