a word from the director:
casting is open to mature teens but this is a pg-13 show with adult themes, innuendo, strong language, and some characters may be required to kiss depending on the role. amt always is a safe place for performers of any age and no one will be asked to do anything that they are uncomfortable with, but some roles require the use of crass language, innuendo, and/or kissing. if you do not want to be considered for one of those roles please let a member of the casting committee know.
