No Sundays. For productions involving children, every effort will be made to release them early, but, as the rehearsal period is short, the entire cast will be expected at all rehearsals for tech week. Rehearsal conflicts need to be very minimal, preferably none at all. All rehearsals and performances are at Parma Little Theatre, 6285 West 54th Street, Parma OH 44129.</span></p><p><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal; "><b>CASTING REQUIREMENTS</b><br>Non - Equity. There are no Equity Contracts available for this 2010 Season. All roles are open except Abner Yokum in Li’l Abner (see specific show breakdowns for details and casting requirements). 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.</span></p><p><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal; "><b>COMPENSATION</b><br>All non-AEA actors appear in Mercury Summer Stock productions on a volunteer basis. College/School Credit is available where applicable. </span></p></b></font></body></html>
