WHO SHOULD AUDITION

MTVarts welcomes:
 First-time performers
 Actors returning to the stage
 Experienced actors interested in ensemble-driven storytelling
Several principal roles are precast, but this production strongly features the ensemble,
offering meaningful stage time, character work, and opportunities for growth.

FEATURED ENSEMBLE WORK

Ensemble performers are central to the storytelling and will be highly visible throughout the
production, including:
• Courtroom scenes shaping tension and moral weight
• Maycomb townspeople who define the community
• Storytelling transitions supporting the narrator
• Role-doubling opportunities for variety and presence
Ensemble roles are essential — not background-only.
