Auditions: Othello (CPT)

Mish Mash Media is looking for an all female cast for the Shakespearean tragedy: ‘Othello’.

Only the following 3 roles are still available:

Othello
Emilia
Cassio

Characters/Roles
Othello
• Black Woman – preferably taller than 170cm. • Age 27- 40 (Must look older than Desdemona, so if you can play/look older do still audition.) • Can have any hair type – long, short, or even dreadlocks.
Emilia
• White or Asian transgender woman (You have to have transitioned from male to female. This is very important, because it is an all-female cast.) • Any height. • Age 25-35 (Must look older than Desdemona, so if you can play/look older do still audition.)
