NOTE: While the characters are written with “he/him” or “she/her” pronouns in the original scripts, we welcome gender non-conforming, genderqueer, transgender, and non-binary actors to audition for the roles they most identify with. We will also list race/ethnicity when specific to the character but are
otherwise seeking all races and ethnicities. In addition, we will list disability when specific to a character but are otherwise seeking actors of all abilities. Thank you to First Folio Theatre for inspiring the language in this note as we work towards a more inclusive casting process.
NOTE: None of these girls are “kiddie,” the play dies in the world of kiddie. And they all have a sense of humor, and a lust for life. Energy, laughter, curiosity abound in all.
SEEKING:
ESTE: Female. Latina. 18+ to play six months away from fifteen. Underdog. At the top of the play, she has yet to step into her power – she is a very smart young woman. Este is an immigrant and the only immigrant out of the four girls. The only working-class member of the team, and someone for whom English is a second language.
PHOEBE: Female. Afro-Latina. 18+ to play three months into sixteen. Phoebe is a softer but formidable opponent to Salma. A bad case of “good girl” syndrome, she hides her power through her politeness and care. But the fierceness is there.
MARIA: Female. Latina. 18+ to play fifteen. Maria is the big reveal! There’s more to la niña bonita than meets the eye. She is the glue of this group. No rosy-eyed glasses for her, she sees everything clearly in her life and sees her friends clearly as well.

DANCIN’ IN THE STREET
Dancin’ in the Street is a world-premiere jukebox musical set on a vibrant neighborhood block where interconnected love stories, friendships, and community unfold through the music of Motown, ’70s folk, soul, and disco. This is a story-driven, ensemble-forward world-premiere production being developed at Mountain Theatre Company by an award winning creative team from Broadway and Las Vegas.
Dancin’ in the Street is intentionally envisioned as a diverse, celebratory community shaped by collaboration, cultural exchange, and shared rhythm. Mountain Theatre Company and the creative team is deeply committed to inclusive casting and warmly encourages Latinx, Black, Asian, and other historically underrepresented artists to participate in the ongoing development of these roles.
SEEKING
ALL ROLES REQUIRE EXCELLENT ACTING, STRONG SINGING, AND SUPERIOR DANCE ABILITY.
Billy (Dancin’ in the Street)
Lead | Male Singer-Dancer | Hispanic/Afro-Carribean/Latinx | 25–35 | Must be 6’0 and above.
Vocal Range: Tenor with strong mix/belt.
Must be a strong dancer with solid partnering skills and high stamina
A magnetic storyteller with natural charisma and commanding presence. True triple threat with advanced dance skills (tap a plus), rhythmic authority, and effortless audience connection.
BILLY
Billy is the unofficial mayor of the block. He believes in music, community, and the idea that if you keep the groove going, everything will work itself out. He narrates the story not as an outsider, but as someone deeply invested in every life on the street. Billy’s confidence comes easily, but it’s also a shield. He avoids overthinking by trusting the rhythm of things. Billy begins the show convinced that joy is something you protect by keeping things light. Over the course of the story, he learns that joy doesn’t disappear when life changes, it deepens. When he and Cristie discover they’re expecting a child, Billy steps into a more grounded leadership, understanding that the street isn’t just a party, it’s a family he’s responsible for nurturing.
Musical references: Tito Puente/ Earth, Wind & Fire/ Kool & the Gang
