Gender-Expansive Casting Statement:
We believe that Shakespeare’s characters transcend gender, and so should the casting. This production of Richard II embraces gender-expansive casting across all roles. Whether you’re femme, masc, nonbinary, trans, agender, or anywhere else inside or outside gender norms or spectrums, your voice belongs in this story.
We’re looking for performers who bring truth, fire, and imagination to these roles.
If you’ve ever felt like classical theatre wasn’t built for you, this one is.
