The Guild is working to create a welcoming environment for all artists and is committed to inclusive casting. We would love to see people audition who are new to the Guild, new to performing, returning to the Guild - as well as people who identify as members of under-represented communities. If there are any accessibility obstacles preventing you from applying to audition, let us know and we will work to overcome them.

Message From Directors

We are already having so much fun directing this show! Hurricane Diane is a rare one - artistically bringing so many elements together. A comedy. A call to action. A celebration of queerness. An ode to Greek drama and reality TV!

As co-directors, we look forward to taking our shared vision for this show and weaving it with the artistry and insights of our cast and production team. Our approach is to lay a solid foundation in text work and then ensure there is plenty of space in rehearsals for curiosity, play and laughter.
