Dear Actors,

Please note this document contains explicit names of sexual acts and anatomy.

A core value of Intimacy Direction and theatrical intimacy education is transparency

and informed consent. As part of a larger shift for the industry, intimacy professionals are

moving theaters to supplying auditioning actors with information about what stories of

intimacy are required by the script and what the production team is considering

developing during rehearsal. Prior to auditions, more and more theaters are listing as part

of their calls the requirements and considerations for each role.

For our Rep Season of Romeo and Juliet and The Rover, we are putting forth a

model of just such a list of requirements and considerations.

Requirements for Romeo and Juliet:

- Romeo and Juliet will make lip-to-lip contact.

- Under bed covers simulated sex for Romeo and Juliet.

- Various undress for Romeo including bare chest and back.

- Various undress for Juliet with possible bare back.

- Mercutio, Benvolio, Capulets, Montagues, may remove shirts in the summer heat.

Adjustments will be made for gender-nonconforming casting if necessary (e.g. if

one of the above is portrayed by a female presenting actor).

Requirements for The Rover:

- Lip-to-lip contact for Willmore and Hellena, Willmore and Angelica, Florinda and

Belville.

- The threat of sexual assault will be required for the performers playing Florinda, Willmore,

Blunt, and Frederick.

- The performer playing Ned Blunt must be in a state of undress in various scenes.

All other listed choreography is potential and something the production team is

considering. If you are not willing to work on specific choreography not expressly stated

as required, this will not affect casting. Please carefully consider the list of choreography

below. You are encouraged to contact Alec or Bess with questions or for clarification.

Sincerely,

The Reps Production Team
