*Monty Men and Keno: if you are auditioning for these roles you need to be very comfortable with your body: enough to perform on stage in your underwear and eventually a g-string. Trust is the key for this production and you will be taken care of respectfully and our final moment will be powerful, yet careful. You will not be asked to take your clothes off for your audition.
