The American Repertory Theater at Harvard University, under the leadership of Artistic Director Diane Paulus and Executive Director Diane Quinn, is actively seeking transgender actors to audition for the A.R.T. 2016-17 season production “Trans Scripts, Part I: The Women.”

“Trans Scripts, Part I: The Women” is a new play drawn from candid interviews with dozens of transgender women around the world. The plays uses their actual words to shed light on the experiences within the trans female community. Jo Bonney directs a cast of seven in the U.S. premiere of this work that received a Fringe First Award for new writing at the 2015 Edinburgh Festival Fringe.

In producing Trans Scripts and the accompanying I.D. Festival to be held at OBERON during the run of the production, the American Repertory Theater seeks to share a broad range of trans voices and experiences.

Actors interested should send a picture and resume and a short cover letter to TransScriptsARTcasting@gmail.com. Actors who cannot attend auditions in person are encouraged to submit video auditions through July 18.
