Childsplay values equity, diversity, and inclusion throughout our organization, programs and audiences. We are committed to giving underrepresented artists a safe space to create art and community.
We acknowledge that many roles fall on the gender binary. However limiting the descriptions are, we invite transgender, genderqueer, gender non-conforming, non-binary performers to read for the roles, cisgender or otherwise, they most identify with. We encourage actors of all body types, gender, physical abilities to audition. Unless a role is specified in the script, we will keep characters open to all backgrounds. Please let us know if you have any questions, concerns, or if there are any accommodations we can provide.
By welcoming people with differences in religion, ethnicity, sexual orientation, class, gender identity, ability, and age, we are better able to celebrate that which brings humankind together: Imagination and Wonder.
