Casting: We are committed to casting a group of actors that will reflect the people of our community. We are very happy to cast roles to include all races, and all gender expressions.
Understudies: GCT would like to develop the understudy process to meet the needs of each particular show. If cast as an understudy, understudies will have multiple rehearsals, as well as an Understudy Performance for friends and family. There is no guarantee of additional performance times, but it is a wonderful learning opportunity and experience.
Theatrical Intimacy:
Theatrical intimacy is any action on stage where the given circumstances of the scene or the overall production calls for touch, both physical and imaginative, or moments between actors of simulated sexuality or violence.
GCT has been incorporating Intimacy Directors & Coordinators (IDC) to improve processes and incorporate safer practices for theatrical intimacy in our rehearsals. All scenes with physical intimacy follow a specific set of staging and rehearsal protocols rooted in consent and safety for the actors.
Some roles in some productions may require some level of physical intimacy/touch as multiple characters demonstrate physical comfort/affection with one another (such as an embrace or close proximity). Characters who engage in specific moments of physical intimacy and kissing are noted at auditions.
