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, 6285 West 54<sup>th</sup> Street, Parma OH 44129.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination:none;mso-layout-grid-align:none; text-autospace:none"><span style="font-size:10.0pt"> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt;mso-pagination:none;mso-layout-grid-align: none;text-autospace:none"><span style="font-size:10.0pt"><b>CASTING REQUIREMENTS</b></span><span style="font-size:10.0pt">: Non - Equity. There are no Equity Contracts available for this 2009 Season. 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-size:10.0pt"> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt;mso-pagination:none;mso-layout-grid-align: none;text-autospace:none"><span style="font-size:10.0pt"><b>COMPENSATION</b></span><span style="font-size:10.0pt">: All non-AEA actors appear in Mercury Summer Stock productions on a volunteer basis.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination:none;mso-layout-grid-align:none; text-autospace:none"><span style="font-size:10.0pt"> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination:none;tab-stops:28.0pt 56.0pt 84.0pt 112.0pt 140.0pt 168.0pt 196.0pt 224.0pt 3.5in 280.0pt 308.0pt 336.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align:none;text-autospace:none"><span style="font-size:10.0pt">FOR MORE INFORMATION AND COMPLETE CAST BREAKDOWNS CHECK OUT </span><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Helvetica"><a href="http://www.mercurysummerstock.com/"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman"; color:#0000F3;text-decoration:none;text-underline:none">www.mercurysummerstock.com</span></a></span><span style="font-size:10.0pt;color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination:none;tab-stops:28.0pt 56.0pt 84.0pt 112.0pt 140.0pt 168.0pt 196.0pt 224.0pt 3.5in 280.0pt 308.0pt 336.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align:none;text-autospace:none"><span style="font-size:10.0pt; color:black"> <o:p></o:p></span></p> <div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt"> <o:p></o:p></span></div> <!--EndFragment-->
