Episode Synopsis

If there’s one part of the theatrical process that can be mysterious, scary, and unfair, it’s casting. Danica Rodriguez is here to change all of that. A native New Yorker, Danica worked in casting for television and theater, including for the Public Theater, before becoming the resident casting director of the esteemed Shakespeare Theatre Company in fall 2021. An open, joyful, and canny person, Danica is perfectly suited to her role and her mission of championing representation, authenticity, nuance and specificity on stage. “The goal of the artist is to make the revolution irresistible.”  - Toni Cade BambaraLearn more about Danica’s background, experiences, and values at danicarodriguez.com, and follow her at @danicarodriguezcasting. Send Dex a text!Be sure to follow and connect with the show on Instagram: @theater_district
