No Sundays. For productions involving children, every effort will be made to release them early, but, as our rehearsal period is short, the entire cast will be expected at all rehearsals for tech week. Rehearsal conflicts need to be very minimal or none at all. All rehearsals and performances are in theatre at Parma Little Theatre.<O:P></O:P></SPAN></P><P class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination:none;mso-layout-grid-align:none; text-autospace:none"><SPAN style=""><FONT class="Apple-style-span" size="4"><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 14px;"> </SPAN></FONT></SPAN><O:P></O:P></P><P class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt;mso-pagination:none;mso-layout-grid-align: none;text-autospace:none"><B>CASTING REQUIREMENTS</B><SPAN style="">: Equity & Non - Equity. Most roles are open (see specific show breakdowns for which roles are cast). Mercury Summer Stock is committed to non-traditional casting. Actors will be cast solely on the basis of talent, except in cases where age, race or physical ability are essential to a role. Ages listed in breakdowns are "character ages" not actor ages. Actors selected for casting may be cast in more than one production for the season.<O:P></O:P></SPAN></P><P class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination:none;mso-layout-grid-align:none; text-autospace:none"><SPAN style=""><FONT class="Apple-style-span" size="4"><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 14px;"> </SPAN></FONT></SPAN><O:P></O:P></P><P class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt;mso-pagination:none;mso-layout-grid-align: none;text-autospace:none"><B>COMPENSATION</B><SPAN style="">: There are salaried AEA contracts available.
