What they are looking for

First Woman LLC is producing Hero: The Boy from Troy, a musical for young audiences about the early life of John Lewis and the path that led him into the Civil Rights Movement, with a book by Nambi E. Kelley, music and lyrics by Joe Plummer and direction by Daniel Carlton. They are seeking a versatile actress with an exceptional gospel and R&B voice, strong harmony skills, warmth and sharp comedic timing. This is non-union and a New York City local hire. Rehearsals run through January 2027, with six performances February 2 to 4 at the Apollo's Victoria Theater. It is paid: $1,000 per week of shows and $500 total for rehearsals. Send a headshot, resume and a video singing gospel or R&B by November 16 at 6 pm. Apply through the original listing.

Castina's tip

Pick a gospel or R&B song for your video that shows control up top and some warmth or humor, since the role calls for both. Record it with good light and clean sound, with no backing track drowning out your voice. In the email, include where you live, confirm you are non-union and list any January conflicts, as the listing asks. If you move forward you will get sides to self-tape, so it helps to read up on John Lewis's early years before then.

How to apply to this casting call

  1. Check that you fit. Read the profile they want carefully, and it is based in New York, the United States.
