UPCOMING AUDITIONS
Virtual Auditions for Hurricane Diane
Hello, and welcome to the casting process for Seattle Public Theater's production of Hurricane Diane, written by Madeleine George, and directed by Annie Lareau.
About the Show
"Meet Diane, a permaculture gardener dripping with butch charm. She’s got supernatural abilities owing to her true identity—the Greek god Dionysus—and she's returned to the modern world to gather mortal followers and restore the Earth to its natural state. Where better to begin than with four housewives in a suburban New Jersey cul-de-sac? In this Obie-winning comedy with a twist, Pulitzer Prize finalist Madeleine George pens a hilarious evisceration of the blind eye we all turn to climate change and the bacchanalian catharsis that awaits us, even in our own backyards."
Hurricane Diane will begin rehearsals February 16, 2026, and the show will run March 20-April 12, 2026.
Who Should Audition
Seattle Public Theater is committed to becoming an anti-racist, anti-ableist, and anti-sexist organization and seeks to uproot and dismantle Industrial white Supremacy within the theatrical arts and our community. We strive to center the values of inclusivity and transparency in our casting process.
