(BIPOC, 20–30s, Any Gender) NON-SPEAKING. Amateur theatre actor and member of a BIPOC community Shakespeare troupe. Appears as part of the ensemble in backstage prep scenes, contributing to the lived-in, communal world of the troupe. Troupe Member 1 is the quiet observer—focused, grounded, and emotionally attuned to the energy in the room. They take the work seriously, not because they want to be a star, but because being on stage gives them a sense of purpose and belonging. In backstage moments, they keep to themselves, studying lines or centering others with calm presence. Their strength is in stillness. SOC

Appears as part of the ensemble in backstage prep scenes, contributing to the lived-in, communal world of the troupe. Troupe Member 2 is the team player—enthusiastic, encouraging, and quick to make others laugh when tension is high. They’ve found community through theatre and feel personally invested in the group’s success. They’re not the loudest, but they lift others with affirming energy.

(BIPOC, 20–30s, Any Gender) NON-SPEAKING. Amateur theatre actor and member of a BIPOC community Shakespeare troupe. Appears as part of the ensemble in backstage prep scenes, contributing to the lived-in, communal world of the troupe. Troupe Member 3 is ambitious and a little anxious—someone who’s still learning to quiet their inner critic. They want to prove they belong and are often over-rehearsing or nervously adjusting their costume in the mirror. They admire the lead actors, and you can see them watching closely, trying to absorb everything. Their vulnerability adds texture to the ensemble. SOC
