A Note on Casting and Representation: We warmly welcome actors of all backgrounds to audition for Leopoldstadt — you do not need to be Jewish to be part of telling this story. We do especially hope that Jewish performers will consider auditioning, as we would love to have your voices, perspectives, and lived experiences in the room as we bring this script to life. This play includes both Jewish and non-Jewish characters, and we welcome everyone who feels called to explore these rich, complex roles. This production is committed to honoring and celebrating the Jewish identities at the heart of this story, portraying its Jewish characters with full heart, sincerity, and respect. Jewish members of our production team will help guide a process of education and exploration throughout rehearsals to support authentic, thoughtful, and meaningful representation. Leopoldstadt explores universal themes of family, connection, identity, and memory, and also is a story about a distinctly Jewish experience in history. This production will celebrate both the story's universality and the Jewish specificity that gives this story its unique power.
