CAST LIST

I understand that it is an honor to be a part of this production. That it is a privilege, not a right to be cast. I will use the experience of being a part of this ensemble as a learning experience.

As a reminder: #18 from the Actor’s Contract you signed and returned at auditions:

To show respect to my director and my ensemble, I will demonstrate understanding of how difficult it is to cast a show for the directors who take in all sorts of factors when piecing a cast together. If I accept my part and drop this show for any reason, I will not be eligible to audition for future productions at DSA this year. I understand that it is extremely unprofessional to drop a role because of its size. And it is extremely bad form to complain about who received roles I wanted. I am building bridges with the professionals in this building and understand work ethic and what it means to be a part of a whole. There are no small parts, only small actors and I realize how fortunate I am to have been cast at all in this production. I will do my best to make this show a successful process from day one. This also goes for my family members who attend the show- please have a discussion with being respectful of everyone’s work before show night.

Sincerely,

The Directing Team of Little Mermaid!
