We are seeking fully vaccinated and boosted actors for this production.
Equity’s contracts prohibit discrimination. Equity is committed to
diversity and encourages all its employers to engage in a policy of equal
employment opportunity designed to promote a positive model of inclusion.
As such, Equity encourages performers of all ethnicities, gender
identities, and ages, as well as performers with disabilities, to submit.

BREAKDOWN
In reference to the character descriptions - most characters we encounter
currently are on the binary and are written with the he/him or she/her
pronouns and you will see that are in the following descriptions. But,
however limiting the descriptions are, our casting seeks to be as inclusive
as possible and we invite gender non-conforming, genderqueer, transgender,
and non-binary actors to submit for the roles they most identify with. We
will also list race/ethnicity when specific to the character but are
otherwise seeking all races and ethnicities. As an ADA compliant theatre,
we welcome performers of all abilities and will make all reasonable
accommodations in order to cast performers, regardless of disability, in
any role possible. Please let us know if you have any questions, concerns,
or if there are any accommodations we can provide. (Language developed by
Kevin Kantor and Emily Tarquin from the Actors Theatre of Louisville)
RCT has engaged with a qualified Intimacy Director to work with all actors.
The Intimacy Director will work with the actors to ensure that any/all
moments of casual or familial intimacy between characters (e.g. casual
touching, embracing) work within the boundaries of each actor.
Seeking:
Susan B. Anthony: female, mid-30s to early 40s, Caucasian. Starts as an
underpaid school teacher and ends up a social reformer and women’s rights
activist; Susan is strong and resilient with a quick mind and tongue; she
possesses incredible inner strength; a sturdy and grounded woman, she is
able to emotionally and physically withstand the challenges of being on the
road for months at a time; she is unapologetic and commits her life to the
women’s suffrage movement; as she is married to the cause, she never enters
into a marriage. Has extreme charisma and is able to carry a play.

Frederick Douglass: male, mid-30s to early 40s, African American. A refined
and elegant man, who is extremely charismatic and a powerful public
speaker; Frederick is a courageous and brilliant academic, author, and
abolitionist; an excellent father and husband, he struggles to find the
balance between being an activist for his cause, always on the road, while
still being present for his family; he is strong yet unmasked in his
vulnerability. He is a self-taught violinist. Has extreme charisma and is
able to carry a play. Note: The ability to play the violin is helpful, but
not necessary.
