Please document any personal boundaries related to intimacy and stage violence. Your response will not necessarily affect casting decisions; we would rather know sooner than later for the well being of our team and the overall efforts of the production. Examples of boundaries may include things like: I don't like being kissed on the neck, I don't want my lower back touched, I don't want my face touched, etc.)*
Are you willing to accept another role if cast? (we appreciate your honesty and this helps us with making the best casting decisions)*
