Casting update – Come From Away ✨🎭

As we continue casting for our upcoming production of Come From Away, we’re looking to complete our company by casting two roles that are integral to the story being told:

➡️ A Black male performer
➡️ A Northern African / Middle Eastern male performer

These characters represent real people and experiences within this powerful true story, and authentic representation is an important part of telling it respectfully and truthfully.

No previous experience with The Rattonians is needed — we warmly welcome new performers, and this is a wonderful opportunity to join our company and be part of something genuinely special.

If this could be you, or someone you know, we would love to hear from you. And please feel free to share to help us reach the right people.
