“Help! We have too many guys in our program!” said no student theatre director ever.
Of course, we want as many guys as we can get, but in the meantime, we’re all looking for roles for girls. In light of this need, most of our main characters are leading ladies. Not only that, but almost all of our secondary and supporting characters are also roles for girls. (More on that in future blog posts...)
Side Note: If you happen to have a leading male character actor:
First of all – Congratulations!
Second – RALPH TO THE RESCUE is for you.
