Casting of roles is based on expression, stage presence, characterization, vocal projection, artistic discipline, voice, and age appearance/height. Artistic discipline includes listening & following directions, attending rehearsals, and getting along with others in auditions, current rehearsals, and the last Carnage show the student was part of.
