Question: What musicals would ask for african american cast members!?
Our high school drama department Director gave us a hint that our spring musical would require cast members of "ethnic variations", specifically African Americans!. Any ideas as to which musicals she could be referring to!? List as many as you can think of containing more than 1 African American cast member!. I want to know if I'd be able to stage manage for it!. [and if I'd want to!.!.!.]
Thanks!Www@QuestionHome@Com
