An Important Note on Casting:
This is a universal story. What happens to the people of Anatevka has happened and is continuing to happen to different peoples around the world. Even though our particular story happens to be set in a small Ukrainian village in the late 19th century; My casting will not solely reflect the kinds of students who look like they would have lived in such a village at such a time. Gender and color blind casting for our school production will be the norm, any actor can earn any part. Thank you.
