Raincity Theatre presents an intimate production of Jason Robert Brown’s Parade. The tragic, true story of the trial and lynching of a man wrongly accused of murder is brought to theatrical life. Amid religious intolerance, political injustice, and racial tension, the stirring Tony Award-winning "Parade" explores the endurance of love and hope against all the odds.
Performances: March 21st, 2024 to April 13th, 2024
We're accepting submissions from both Equity members and non-members. This activity would fall under Equity's Artists' Collective Policy and pay will be issued accordingly (profit share).
Please note the role of Leo Frank has already been cast. All other roles are available. As we are using the revival script for Parade, all cast members will be playing multiple roles in the production; as such, the roles of the Factory Girls will be cast using adults to portray all other adult roles in the show. A full character breakdown can be found here: PDF: Parade Character Breakdown. DOCX Version: here
We can only see Vancouver locals, as there is no budget for out-of-town performers at this time. If you are out of town for the auditions/callbacks but wish to be seen, please email us and we can set up a self-tape audition.
Please submit a headshot and resume to info@raincitytheatre.com. If your work is known to the team, you may be asked to come straight to callbacks. Due to time constraints, only those selected will be invited to audition.
Please note any conflicts with audition/callback times, and/or rehearsal or run dates in your initial audition submission.
Those selected for an audition will be sent an audition package with time/date/location and material from the show.
Rehearsals will begin on or around Feb 15th, 2024. Rehearsals will be held in the city of Vancouver and will be flexible to accommodate conflicting schedules, as required.
