a) The aim of the casting policy is to find the best available cast for each production, by seeking cast members who are the best available actors, whose appearance, character interpretation and stage presence fit well with other cast members and with the nature of the play, and the Director’s vision.

b) Due consideration must be given to the reputation of Stirling Players as a community theatre group constantly striving for excellence.

c) Plays will be cast by either open or closed auditions before a panel of the Director and either one or two persons appointed by the Committee to assist the Director.

d) The deliberations of the casting panel are confidential and final casting decisions are to be reached by consensus, with the Director having the final casting vote if consensus cannot be reached. 

e) No play is to be pre-cast. Any person may be invited to audition, however, there are to be no roles promised. All cast members are to be selected on merit at the audition.
