Casting Off (Theatre)
Casting off in theatre refers to the process of selecting actors for specific roles in a production. This involves auditions where performers showcase their skills, often reading lines from the script or performing monologues. Directors and casting agents evaluate these performances to find the best fit for each character.
Once the casting decisions are made, the chosen actors are officially announced, marking the beginning of their commitment to the production. This process is crucial as it sets the foundation for the entire show, influencing the dynamics of the cast and the overall performance quality.
