The roles of Sarah and Sky require some significant moments of intimacy that are

critical to the plot – including kissing, hugging and Sky carrying Sarah across his

shoulders. Nathan and Adelaide require moments of intimacy that involve pecks on the

cheek and the occasional hug and arm holding. Auditioners interested in these roles

should be aware of these requirements.

The Oshawa Little Theatre is committed to diverse, and inclusive casting. For every role, we

welcome applications from all performers, without regard to age, sex, ethnicity, disability, race,

color, national origin, sexual orientation, gender identity, or any other basis.
