DONT WORK HERE. I did West Side Story with them and I’m the only Latina shark they cast. Because I was a last min replacement, they paid me less than everyone in the company. They asked me back for Evita at the same rate, when I asked to be paid as much as the white girls hired for the Evita ensemble, they said they couldn’t afford me and rescinded the offer.
The actors that did stay ended up getting hand foot mouth disease because they rehearse at a community center with children.
Some people’s checks bounced. They pay around $120/wk. If you are in their first round of offers, and ask for more money, they might give it to you but know that then they will be paying another actor less.
also you have to stay with a host family, which can be somewhat awkward, especially for the people who didn’t stay in town and then they were stranded at the host family’s home outside of rehearsal times.

this theatre is racist and poorly run.
