Non-Discrimination & Inclusive Casting Statement
NoCoPA is committed to creating an inclusive, respectful, welcoming, and professional casting and rehearsal process. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, ethnicity, national origin, gender identity, sexual orientation, religion, disability, age, body type, or any other protected status.
All roles are open to performers of all ethnicities, races, gender identities, abilities, and backgrounds, unless otherwise required by the licensed script or specific storytelling needs of the production. The gender descriptions listed in the character breakdown reflect the roles as written and/or traditionally presented in the licensed material.
We are committed to fair casting practices, clear communication, safe rehearsal environments, and a production process rooted in respect, preparation, collaboration, and care.

About This Production
This interpretation of the beloved Chicago will illuminate not only the satirization of stardom, power struggles, and media manipulation, but also the challenges women faced in the insatiable institute of politics. Set in a world that constantly begs for spectacle and glamour, our concept examines the ladder that leads to power and the sacrifices demanded of women in the political arena. This production will bring to light that which insists on remaining hidden – how the pursuit of power is a performance, and for women, that performance may cost much more than what anyone bargained for.

Seeking
We are seeking a dynamic cast of adult performers (18 years and up) with strong singing, acting, and movement abilities. We are particularly interested in performers who bring professionalism, preparation, kindness, flexibility, and a genuine love for musical theater storytelling. Our final cast size will be determined after callbacks. Not all performers will be called to every rehearsal prior to tech week.

Rehearsals
Rehearsals will be held on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. and on Saturdays from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. There will be a full week of rehearsals during the final week prior to opening night.
