First…Please take some time to read this note BEFORE you read the cast list. Trust me, it will help you approach this show and your part in it with the right frame of mind.
Second…THANK YOU.
Thank you for the courage, energy, creativity, and heart you brought into the audition and callback process. We know that putting yourself out there can be vulnerable, and we were genuinely impressed by the talent and commitment we saw from so many of you.
After a LOT of conversations, re-watching auditions, imagining different combinations of actors, and trying to put together the very best ensemble for this story, we are excited to announce our final cast of FINDING NEVERLAND!
Please remember that casting is not a ranking of talent. There are so many talented people in this room, and we simply cannot put everyone in every role. Casting is about finding the particular combination of people, personalities, skills, and storytelling choices that will bring this production to life.
And now…
THE MAGIC BEGINS.
Finding Neverland is a story about imagination, friendship, family, courage, and the incredible things that can happen when we allow ourselves to believe in something bigger than what we can see.
This cast has the opportunity to create something truly special. You will get to step into a world of pirates, fairies, dreams, laughter, heartbreak, and, most importantly, the power of imagination.
We hope you will celebrate one another, support one another, and remember that every person on this cast is an important part of telling this story. This ensemble is essential and what makes us stand out from other schools. Every character, every moment, every piece of music, every tech and backstage contribution, and every person who helps create this world matters. And together, we must create a brave space for each other and make sure we are kind, supportive and hardworking as a team!
So take a moment to celebrate what you've accomplished. Be proud of yourselves. And then get ready…Because Neverland is waiting.
We cannot wait to see what this incredible group of people creates together.
Welcome to FINDING NEVERLAND. Let's make some magic!
