This play is for everyone, and we enthusiastically encourage a full scope of diversity in casting across all matrices. There have been a lot of interpretations of Emma—we’re interested in the version that allows actors of all racial, gender, body, and ability identities to comfortably and joyfully be cast in any role. To that end, please feel free to adjust any pronouns/language accordingly to reflect actor identity. If any casting choice requires adjustment to vocal range(s), please contact Uproar to collaborate on a version that works best for your cast.
