BREAKDOWN

WAM THEATRE 2026 SEASON

A NOTE ON INCLUSIVE CASTING AT WAM THEATRE: We welcome all actors who are interested in our theatre and our mission to audition for present and future casting opportunities. Below are the roles that we are currently looking to fill. Language around gender is ever evolving. At WAM, woman is defined as cisgender, woman, transwoman, and all others who identify as woman. Research indicates that men apply for jobs when they fulfill an average of 60% of the criteria, while individuals from historically oppressed communities tend to apply only if they meet every requirement. WAM Theatre is committed to creating, maintaining, and learning about a diverse and inclusive working space and is proud to be an equal opportunity employer. If you believe that you could excel in the roles listed below, we encourage you to audition.

ROOTED (Mainstage)

Written by Deborah Zoe Laufer

First Rehearsal: Monday April 6, 2026

First Public Performance: Friday May 1, 2026

Closing: Saturday May 16, 2026

SEEKING:

EMERY HARRIS (40’s-70’s) Lives in a treehouse. Uses a walker; wears a gardening hat and glasses. Plants make sense. People are confusing; much safer to be alone with her plants.

HAZEL: (40’s-70’s) Emery’s older sister. Waitress for way too long, taken care of Emery even longer. Frustrated, powerless, rage building. She could have done so much with her life.

LUANNE: (20’s- 30’s) Incredibly sweet and guileless. Hungry for joy, for a tribe, for something larger to believe in. (You may already know her from Be Here Now).
