The characters and tracking were originally based on the original cast that created the play. Therefore, we are not beholden to a particular "type" when considering actors for each track. It is possible that through the audition process, based on what each individual brings as a performer, that tracking for the second and third act may shift.

In both Equity and non-Equity cases, Theater Wit pays a minimum of $15/hr, so rehearsal weeks may well exceed the base pay.

Vaccination against COVID-19 is required for all performers and people with access to rehearsal rooms, onstage or backstage.

It is our hope that callbacks will take place in person following all safety guidelines as outlined by the union at Theater Wit.

Pay: CAT III; AEA minimum $461 per week. NON rate $400 per week.
