Marsha Hanna, Artistic Director, generally produces all non-musical properties. In addition this season, she will produce Brother Wolf. Kevin Moore, Executive Director, generally produces all musicals and the Musical Theatre Workshop (MTW). This season he will produce A Christmas Carol.

The Human Race Theatre Company is a professional theatre that works under a Small Professional Theatre Contract (SPT 6) and performs in The Loft Theatre, a 219-seat thrust stage.

Wait Until Dark will be performed under a Letter of Agreement to LORT D Contract at The Victoria Theatre, a 1100-seat proscenium.

Rehearsals are primarily Monday – Friday evenings, and daytime on weekends.

NOTE on casting at The Human Race:

“In the spring, we schedule an open audition call in Dayton and Chicago for both Equity and non-equity. We also regularly attend the League of Cincinnati Theatres open call. From these general calls, I will select the actors to be invited to callback for the director of a specific show. We usually callback in Dayton first, then Chicago, then New York. If we cast from New York, it is by invitation only or through agent submissions.

Rarely do I callback an actor who has not attended a general call for the season of the production. I assume that if you do not audition, you do not wish to be considered. If you cannot attend a general call and wish to be considered, submit your updated resume and headshot with a note as to what show(s) interest you and, based on my deteriorating memory, I will consider you for inclusion in the callback. I will not be scheduling additional auditions.”

—Marsha Hanna, Artistic Director

General Auditions are open to Non-Equity and Equity Actors (unless otherwise noted), with Non-Equity actors having the opportunity to join the Equity Membership Candidacy Program.
